Succulent Shrimp Skewers with Garlic Butter: A Flavorful, Grilled Delight

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, paprika, lemon zest, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Thread the shrimp onto the skewers, arranging them so that they are snug but not overcrowded.
Step 2: Make the Garlic Butter Sauce

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and golden.
Stir in the lemon juice, fresh parsley, and red pepper flakes (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep the garlic butter sauce warm while grilling the shrimp.
Step 3: Grill the Shrimp Skewers

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Place the shrimp skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
During the last minute of grilling, brush the shrimp with the garlic butter sauce to infuse the shrimp with even more flavor.
Step 4: Serve

Remove the shrimp skewers from the grill and drizzle them with the remaining garlic butter sauce.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as rice, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad.
