Method: 

Whisk together the brown sugar and lime juice in a large bowl until sugar is dissolved. Whisk in chile ,shallot, cilantro, and mint. Add the mangos, tossing gently.
Beginning at the thick end, insert a skewer lengthwise through each shrimp to straighten. Transfer to a tray.
Prepare the grill.
Whisk together the oil, jalapeño, cumin, and salt, then brush on the skewered shrimp until well coated. Grill the shrimp, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and just cooked through, about 4 minutes.
Toss the mango salad again and divide among 4 plates. Arrange 4 shrimp on top of each serving.
