If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes.

Peel your thawed shrimp and discard the shell and tail.

Push the skewer through the top and bottom of the shrimp forming a C and push the shrimp to the top of the skewer.

Repeat feeding the raw shrimp through the skewers and pushing them up until you have 3 to 4 shrimp on each skewer

In a small bowl mix the oil and lemon juice together and place in a flat container where you can lay the shrimp skewers flat.

Place the shrimp skewers in the container.

Chop the garlic and sprinkle over the shrimp skewers. Using a basting brush rub the garlic and oil and lemon juice mixture over the shrimp.

Let stand for 30 minutes

Just before barbecuing them season with salt and pepper.

Place on grill for 5 minutes each side. Once they are bright orange on both sides and the thickest part of the shrimp goes from translucent to opaque they are ready.

Remove from grill and place on serving dish.

Sprinkle parsley or dill for garnish.
