To prepare the glaze, combine the lime juice, rum, and ginger in a medium-size saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Whisk in the cornstarch mixture, honey, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool completely, then stir in the zest and cilantro. Transfer to a container, cover, keep cool, and set aside.

Prepare a medium-hot fire in the grill.
-
Toss the shrimp with the oil, 6 tablespoons of the glaze, and salt and pepper to taste. Lay the shrimp on the hot grate and grill for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, brushing often with additional glaze, until shrimp have turned bright pink on the outside and white on the inside.

Arrange the cooked shrimp on a platter and serve.
