INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 lbs large shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 tbsp butter, melted
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 lemon, juiced and zested
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 lemon, halved, for grilling
8 wooden skewers, soaked in water 20 minutes

METHOD

Whisk together the melted butter, garlic, lemon juice and zest, olive oil, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
Toss the shrimp with half the butter mixture and marinate 15 minutes (no longer, or the lemon starts cooking them).
Thread the shrimp onto the soaked skewers and heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high.
Grill 2-3 minutes per side until pink and lightly charred, adding the lemon halves cut-side down alongside.
Brush with the reserved butter mixture, scatter with parsley, and serve with the charred lemon for squeezing.
