Instructions:

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  2. In a bowl, combine minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, olive oil, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
  3. Place the peeled and deveined shrimp in a separate bowl and pour the marinade over the shrimp. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly. Allow the shrimp to marinate for 15-20 minutes to develop the flavors.
  4. While the shrimp is marinating, thread the shrimp onto the soaked wooden skewers, piercing through the tail and the head of each shrimp.
  5. Lightly oil the grill grates or grill pan to prevent sticking. Place the shrimp skewers on the grill or grill pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until the shrimp turns pink and opaque.
  6. Once cooked, remove the shrimp skewers from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
  7. Garnish with additional fresh parsley and serve the Lemon Garlic Shrimp Skewers hot alongside your favorite keto-friendly side dishes such as a crisp salad or grilled vegetables.
