Lemon shrimp skewers

Instructions

1. Fill a large bowl with water, and put your wooden sticks inside, so that they soak for a half-hour and do not burn during cooking.
2. Meanwhile, wash the shrimps well and peel them, leaving the tails on them. You can also ask to have them prepared for you at the fishmonger.
3. Thinly slice one or two lemons, then cut each of the lemon slices into quarters.
4. Now, prepare your skewers: thread three shrimps and two lemon pieces, alternately, on each of your wooden sticks. Repeat this operation until you finish the shrimps.
5. Put all your skewers on a large platter.
6. Very finely chop the garlic and fresh herbs you have chosen. Parsley, chives, and thyme are ideal for this recipe, but you can choose the ones you prefer.
7. Prepare the dressing by mixing in a bowl the juice of two lemons, the oil, the grated skin of a lemon, the minced herbs, the minced garlic, ground black pepper, and a little salt. Mix well and pour over the skewers.
8. Cover the tray with the skewers with plastic wrap and let them rest for about 20 minutes in the fridge.
9. When the skewers have taken on flavor, heat a griddle or non-stick pan and cook the skewers for a few minutes per side. You can also cook them on a barbecue.
