Begin by soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and cracked black pepper.
Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat them thoroughly in the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated shrimp onto the soaked skewers, ensuring they are spaced evenly.
Place the shrimp skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through.
Remove the shrimp from the grill and let them rest for a minute. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve the Grilled Garlic-Lemon Shrimps hot, garnished with extra lemon wedges if desired.
