1
Marinate the Shrimp
In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2
Prepare the Skewers
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. If using metal skewers, they can be used directly.
3
Assemble the Skewers
Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers, about 5-6 shrimp per skewer.
4
Cook the Skewers
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
