Instructions

1. 1Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels, then thread them alternately with lemon slices onto skewers, leaving slight gaps between pieces for even cooking.
2. 2Sprinkle the shrimp and lemon evenly with red pepper flakes and season with salt and black pepper on all sides.
3. 3Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat until a drop of water sizzles on contact, about 2 minutes. Once hot, place the skewers on the pan and cook for 3–4 minutes until the shrimp begin to turn pink on the first side.
4. 4Flip the skewers and cook for another 3–4 minutes over medium-high heat until the shrimp are fully opaque and firm to the touch, and the lemon slices show light char marks.
5. 5While the skewers cook, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, about 1–2 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant, then pour in the white wine and stir to combine. Remove from heat and stir in the fresh chopped parsley.
6. 6Transfer the cooked skewers to a serving platter and brush generously with the warm parsley butter. Squeeze the grilled lemon slices over the shrimp to release their juice.
7. 7Divide the skewers evenly into 4 serving plates while still warm and drizzle any remaining butter from the platter over each portion.
8. 8Serve immediately, garnishing with extra fresh parsley if desired.
