1 lb. shrimp (peeled and deveined)

2-3 garlic cloves

3 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley

1/2 lemon

4 tbsp. Olive Oil

1 1/2 tsp. Kosher salt

1 tsp. crushed black pepper

Directions:Place the shrimp in a mixing bowl or container. Finely chop the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl along with the oil, parsley, salt, and pepper. Squeeze the 1/2 of a lemon over the mixture (use 1/2 lemon if it's a juicy one or more if the lemon doesn't yield much juice. Skewer the shrimp and place directly on the BBQ for 2 1/2- 3 minutes per side. For a bolder flavor, cover the mixture and allow to marinate in the fridge for 20 minutes.**If you are using bamboo or wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes to avoid scorching your skewers**
