Instructions
Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.
Marinate
15 minMix the oil with the crushed garlic, grated zest and juice of half the lemon, paprika, and parsley. Toss the shrimp in the marinade and let stand for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, soak wooden skewers in water.
Thread onto skewers
10 minThread 5–6 shrimp onto each skewer.
Grill
6 minCook on a hot grill or grill pan for 2–3 minutes per side, until the shrimp turn pink. Season with salt.
Serve
Serve immediately with wedges cut from the remaining lemon.
Tip: Do not overcook the shrimp—they are done when they turn pink all over and curl into a C shape. Cooking them longer will make them tough.
