# Directions:
01 - Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
02 - In a mixing bowl, toss the prepared shrimp with olive oil, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper until evenly coated.
03 - In a separate bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter, finely minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, lemon juice, optional crushed red pepper flakes, and lemon zest. Stir to incorporate.
04 - Thread the seasoned shrimp onto the skewers, arranging approximately 4-5 shrimp per skewer.
05 - Generously brush the shrimp skewers with the prepared garlic butter sauce, reserving a portion for basting and serving. Place the skewers on the preheated grill or grill pan.
06 - Grill the shrimp skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn opaque and develop a light char.
07 - Remove the grilled shrimp skewers from the heat. Brush with any remaining garlic butter sauce and serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges.
