Plating:

Arrange the skewers in a neatly diagonal pattern on a rectangular white platter, allowing the pieces to showcase the char from the grill. A small bowl of additional lime-cilantro dressing can be served on the side for those who desire extra flavor. Place a sprinkling of fresh cilantro leaves around the dish, along with strategically placed lime wedges for added color contrast and optional zest. The skewers should be served hot, highlighting the glistening meat pieces under light.
