... awkwardly.

Quote:

...he sighed and shrugged awkwardly.

Please, how would this be said in Spanish?
...suspiró y encogió los hombros en una manera torpe.
That was my attempt.:p
Is that right?

Unas ideas. Los nativos tendrán mejores opciones.

Suspiró e incómodamente se encogió de hombros.
Suspiró y se encogió de hombros torpemente.
Suspiró y con vergüenza se encogió de hombros.
Suspiró y con pena se encogió de hombros.

It's really difficult to translate.Con vergüenza or incómodamente as David said are as good as it gets, I think.
