Steps
Heat grill to medium-high heat.
Add shrimp to a medium bowl with olive oil, garlic cloves, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper and lemon zest. Toss to coat everything.
Thread the shrimp on the skewers, starting from the bottom and going through the top so the shrimp stays on and doesn’t fall off. If using wooden skewers, be sure to soak for at least 30 minutes prior to using.
Place shrimp skewers on clean grill grates and grill for 2-3 minutes per side. Remove when shrimp is pink. DO NOT overcook or it will turn rubbery fast.
While shrimp is resting, in a small bowl mix together melted butter, salt, chopped parsley and garlic.
Brush the garlic butter mixture on grilled shrimp and serve.
