Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 min.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper.

3. 3

   Add the shrimp and toss until every piece is coated.

4. 4

   Cover and refrigerate for 20-30 min. Do not marinate longer, because the lemon juice turns the flesh mushy.

5. 5

   Heat a grill or a ridged grill pan to medium-high and brush the grates with oil.

6. 6

   Thread 5-6 shrimp onto each skewer, curling each one into a loose C so it cooks evenly.

7. 7

   Grill the skewers for 2-3 min per side, until the shrimp are pink and opaque all the way through and just firm. Overcooked shrimp turn rubbery.

8. 8

   Pile the skewers on a platter, scatter with parsley and serve with the wedges.
