Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, paprika, oregano, salt, pepper, chili flakes and parsley. Set aside a few tablespoons of this marinade for brushing later.
2. If using frozen shrimp, thaw completely and pat very dry.
3. Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss until coated. Marinate for 15 to 20 minutes.
4. Thread the shrimp onto skewers, optionally alternating with red onion, zucchini or pineapple.
5. To grill: preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Grill the skewers 2 to 3 minutes per side, until the shrimp are pink and opaque with light char marks. Brush immediately with the reserved marinade.
6. To bake: preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F). Place the skewers on a parchment-lined baking sheet or wire rack and bake 6 to 8 minutes, flipping halfway if desired. For extra colour, broil 1 to 2 minutes at the end. Brush immediately with the reserved marinade.
7. The shrimp are done when they form a loose C shape; a tight O shape means they are overcooked. Serve immediately.
