1
Prep skewers
Soak wooden skewers in water for 15 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
2
Preheat grill
Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F / 190-205°C).
3
Make marinade
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil (1 tbs), minced garlic (2 cloves), lemon juice (1 tbs), salt (0.5 tsp), and black pepper (0.25 tsp). Add peeled and deveined shrimp and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
4
Skewer shrimp
Thread 4 shrimp onto each of the two skewers, arranging them in a single layer for even cooking.
5
Baste and sauce
Brush the skewered shrimp lightly with house-made steak sauce, reserving a portion for basting during grilling.
6
Grill shrimp
Place skewers on the grill. Cook 2-3 minutes per side, turning once, until shrimp are opaque and pink and have a slight char. Baste with steak sauce during the last minute of cooking.
7
Finish and serve
Remove from grill, baste with any remaining sauce, let rest 1-2 minutes, and serve with lemon wedges.
