– 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Skewer 4-6 shrimp on each soaked wooden skewer and set aside.

Grill shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink, opaque, and slightly charred.
Serve warm, garnished with chopped parsley and lemon slices.
Notes
🍤 Avoid marinating shrimp for more than 2 hours as the acid can overcook them.
🔥 If a grill isn’t available, broil shrimp on skewers for 2-3 minutes per side in the oven.
🦐 Peel and devein the shrimp prior to marinating to better absorb the flavors; leaving tails on is optional.
