Todos os Passos

1. 1

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

2. 2

   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.

5. 5

   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.

7. 7

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

8. 8

   Place the shrimp skewers on the hot grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.

9. 9

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