Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 min so they do not burn.

2. 2

   Finely grate the zest from the lemon, then halve it. Squeeze one half and cut the other into wedges.

3. 3

   Stir the olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, 1 tbsp of the juice, paprika, salt and black pepper together in a bowl.

4. 4

   Pat the shrimp dry, add them to the bowl and toss well.

5. 5

   Cover and chill for 20-30 min, no longer, or the lemon starts to turn the shrimp mushy.

6. 6

   Heat the grill as hot as it will go and brush the grates clean.

7. 7

   Thread the shrimp onto the skewers, packing them snugly so they stay juicy.

8. 8

   Grill until the underside turns pink with charred spots, about 2 min.

9. 9

   Turn the skewers and grill until the shrimp are opaque all the way through and curled into a loose C, 1-2 min more.

10. 10

    Pile the skewers on a platter, drizzle with a little olive oil and the remaining juice, and scatter the parsley over. Serve with the lemon wedges.
