Spicy Lemon-Garlic Shrimp Skewers Recipe

Begin by threading the shrimp and lemon slices onto pre-soaked wooden skewers. Grease the grill and heat on medium-high. Place the skewers in a single layer onto the grill and sprinkle red chili flakes, lemon zest, and minced garlic on top.

Cook for four minutes on each side and ensure the shrimp are pink and firm before transferring to a plate. Drizzle the lemon juice over the skewers and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tip: To tone down the spiciness, simply reduce the amount of red chili flakes.
