Instructions

Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, basil, rosemary, smoked paprika, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add the shrimp and toss to coat, then cover and set in the fridge to marinate for 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat, then skewer the shrimp on sharp sticks. Grill over direct heat for 2-3 minutes on each side, until the shrimp have turned pink and are cooked through. Be careful not to overcook though or the shrimp will become tough and rubbery.
Brush the grilled shrimp skewers with melted butter, sprinkle with parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.
