Ingredients

  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1/4 cup olive oil, plus more, to taste, for greasing the grill grates
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 1/2 pounds extra-large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • fresh parsley, to taste, chopped, for garnish

Directions

Step 1 -In a large bowl, add the lemon zest, the lemon juice, the garlic, 1/4 cup of the oil, the salt, the black pepper, and the crushed pepper flakes and stir to combine.

Step 2 -Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss well to coat.

Step 3 -Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator. Let the shrimp marinate, about 15 minutes.

Step 8 -Serve the shrimp skewers garnished with the parsley and the lemon wedges.
