   If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

   Peel and devein shrimp, leaving tails on if desired. Pat dry with paper towels.

3. 3

   Finely mince the garlic cloves. Zest half of the lemon and then juice the entire lemon.

4. 4

   In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently to ensure all shrimp are coated.

   Marinate the shrimp for at least 15 minutes at room temperature, or up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

6. 6

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates.

   Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers, typically 4-5 shrimp per skewer, ensuring they are not too crowded.

   Remove from the grill and serve immediately with extra lemon wedges if desired.
