Combine the first 7 ingredients in a blender, puree until smooth. Place the shrimp in a bowl and toss with 2/3 of the marinade. Reserve 1/3 of the marinade for later. Marinate the shrimp in the fridge for 20 minutes. Preheat the griddle to 425°F. Cook the shrimp in two batches on the griddle. Grill the shrimp for 3 minutes per side, until the shrimp have a nice caramelized appearance and are opaque throughout. Place shrimp an a plate while you prepare the lettuce. On a large platter arrange the lettuce leaves to cover the platter, larger leaves should be torn in half. Top each leaf with a shrimp, and a drizzle of the reserved marinade (do not use marinade that had the raw shrimp in it). Place the lime quarters around the platter. To eat, squeeze the lime on the shrimp and wrap in lettuce, enjoy.
