For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the marinade. If you don't have skewers, you can grill the shrimp directly on the grates, but be sure to keep a close eye on them to prevent them from falling through. This recipe also works beautifully with scallops or chunks of firm white fish. Adjust the cooking time accordingly. Serve immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and a lemon wedge for squeezing.
