Instructions

Step 1

Whisk lemon juice, oil, garlic, salt and pepper in a large nonreactive bowl. Add shrimp, stir to coat and let stand for 10 minutes, stirring once or twice.

Step 2

Meanwhile, preheat grill to medium-high (or heat a grill pan over medium-high heat). Thread shrimp onto 4 (12-inch) metal skewers, leaving a little space between each shrimp. Discard the marinade.

Step 3

Oil the grill grates by holding an oil-dipped paper towel with tongs (or oil the grill pan). Grill the shrimp, flipping once, just until opaque, about 6 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
