Shrimp
- Soak 4 wooden skewers in water.
- Preheat grill on high, and spray with cooking oil
- Blot shrimp dry with paper towel
- In a medium bowl whisk together oil, juice and zest of one of the lemons, garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, and celery salt.
- Add shrimp and toss to coat. Allow to marinate 5 minutes
- Thread shrimp on skewers, 5 per skewer.
- Grill shrimp over direct high heat, about 6 minutes, turning halfway through. Shrimp should be pink, and the flesh opaque.
- Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges and cocktail sauce.
Notes
- When threading shrimp, space them tightly together. This will mean less surface area so the shrimp will stay juicy and tender.
