Step 1

Peel the shells and tails from the shrimp and cut out the vein (if you like).

Step 2

Combine the lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, black pepper and crushed red pepper in a large bowl. Add the cleaned shrimp and toss well to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Step 3

If using wooden skewers, place 12 skewers (about 12 inches long) in a 9-inch by 13-inch dish filled with water. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Oil the grill grates well.

Step 4

Remove the shrimp from the marinade and thread 4 or 5 pieces on each skewer. Place the skewers in the grill pan or on the grill over direct heat. Cook until the shrimp is bright pink all over and opaque, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the heat. Garnish with sea salt, parsley, and lemon wedges and serve immediately.
