Creating flavorful Grilled Garlic Shrimp Skewers is straightforward. Follow these easy steps for perfectly grilled shrimp:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
2. Marinate the Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Allow them to marinate for 15-30 minutes.
3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 15 minutes to prevent burning.
4. Skewer the Shrimp: Thread marinated shrimp onto skewers, keeping space between each shrimp for even cooking.
5. Grill the Shrimp: Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
6. Remove from Grill: Once cooked, take the skewers off the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
7. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the skewers for an added touch of color and flavor.
8. Serve Hot: Enjoy immediately while hot and freshly grilled!

Following these steps will help you achieve an incredible result that brings the essence of summer grilling to your table.
