# Components:

01 - 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on

02 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
03 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
04 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

06 - ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
07 - ½ teaspoon salt
08 - ¼ teaspoon black pepper

# Preparation steps:
01 - If using wooden skewers, immerse them in water for a minimum of 20 minutes to prevent charring during grilling.
02 - In a generously sized bowl, vigorously combine the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
03 - Introduce the prepared shrimp to the marinade bowl and gently toss to ensure uniform coating. Allow to marinate for 10 minutes.
04 - Carefully thread the marinated shrimp onto the prepared skewers. Insert each skewer twice, once near the tail and once through the thicker end, for secure placement.
05 - Preheat your grill or grill pan to a medium-high temperature. Lightly lubricate the grilling surface.
06 - Place the shrimp skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes per side, until the shrimp become opaque and exhibit a light char.
07 - Remove the cooked shrimp skewers from the heat. Present immediately, accompanied by lemon wedges and an optional sprinkle of additional parsley.
