Step 1: Season the Shrimp

In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp with baking soda, kosher salt, and sugar. Toss well until evenly coated.

Thread the shrimp onto two parallel skewers, alternating the direction of each shrimp so they sit closely together. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

Step 2: Prepare the Garlic Mixtures

In a small bowl, combine half of the minced garlic with half of the olive oil.

In another larger bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, and chopped parsley. Set aside for serving.

Step 3: Prepare the Grill

Preheat a charcoal or gas grill over high heat.

Clean and lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 4: Grill the Shrimp

Brush both sides of the shrimp with the garlic-oil mixture.

Place the skewers directly over the hottest part of the grill.

Cook for about 2 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the shrimp are pink, lightly charred, and just cooked through. Total cooking time should be about 4 to 5 minutes.

Avoid overcooking to keep the shrimp tender and juicy.

Step 5: Finish and Serve

Carefully remove the shrimp from the skewers.

Transfer them immediately to the bowl containing the lemon-garlic-parsley mixture and gently toss until evenly coated.

Season with freshly ground black pepper and additional salt if needed.

Serve the Grilled Shrimp with Garlic and Lemon immediately with fresh lemon wedges.
