Instructions

Mix garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, oil, salt and pepper in a medium mixing bowl.
Add shrimp and toss to combine. Let shrimp marinate for about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Thread shrimp on metal or soaked wooden skewers and discard marinade.
Fire up your grill with heat set to medium-high. Place shrimp skewers on grill and cook until pink and opaque, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove from grill and serve hot with lemon wedges to squeeze over shrimp, if desired.

Notes

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning.
To make in the oven: Preheat your oven broiler to high and coat a sheet pan with cooking spray. Place the skewers on the baking sheet in a single layer and broil for about 4-6 minutes, flipping halfway. Keep an eye on the cooking time as it may vary slightly.
To store leftovers: Remove any shrimp from the skewers and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
