Shrimp
Soak 4 wooden skewers in water.
Preheat grill on high, and spray with cooking oil
Blot shrimp dry with paper towel
In a medium bowl whisk together oil, juice and zest of one of the lemons, garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, and celery salt.
Add shrimp and toss to coat. Allow to marinate 5 minutes
Thread shrimp on skewers, 5 per skewer.
Grill shrimp over direct high heat, about 6 minutes, turning halfway through. Shrimp should be pink, and the flesh opaque.
Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges and cocktail sauce.
Notes
When threading shrimp, space them tightly together. This will mean less surface area so the shrimp will stay juicy and tender.
