Prepare the shrimp by peeling and deveining them if not already done. Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the marinade. Allow the shrimp to marinate for about 15-30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Thread the marinated shrimp onto the soaked wooden skewers, dividing them evenly among the skewers.

Place the shrimp skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them.

Once the shrimp are cooked, remove them from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
