  1. Juice and zest one lemon into a small bowl. Add the minced garlic, chopped scallions, parsley, salt, and pepper.
  2. Place peeled shrimp in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over shrimp. Cover and let the shrimp marinate for at least 1 hour (up to overnight).
  3. When you are ready to cook your shrimp, preheat the grill to medium heat. (You should be able to hold your hand a few inches above the cooking grate for 5-6 seconds.)
  4. Cut one the remaining lemon into wedges and cut each wedge in half. Skewer the shrimp and lemon pieces, until all the shrimp has been skewered.
  5. Grill the shrimp for 2 minutes. Then flip the skewers and grill them for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the shrimp is opaque and firm.
  6. Remove from the grill and serve immediately.
