In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Add the shrimp to the bowl of marinade and stir to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, but no more than 1 hour, to allow the flavors to meld.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Thread the marinated shrimp onto metal or soaked wooden skewers, piercing through both the head and tail ends to secure them.
Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque with slightly charred edges. Avoid overcooking as shrimp can become rubbery.
Once cooked, carefully remove the shrimp from the grill and transfer them to a serving plate.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of fresh citrus flavor.
