Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

In a medium mixing bowl, combine garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, sea salt, and ground black pepper.
Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to combine, allowing the shrimp to marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Thread the marinated shrimp onto metal or soaked wooden skewers and discard the marinade.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and place the shrimp skewers on the grill.
Cook the shrimp for about 2 minutes on each side or until they are pink and opaque.
Remove from the grill and serve hot with lemon wedges.

Notes

Soaking wooden skewers in water prevents them from burning on the grill.
Adjust marination time if you prefer a stronger flavor; however, do not exceed 1 hour to avoid a rubbery texture.
Serve with a fresh salad for a light, healthy meal.
