Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Chop bell peppers, onions, and zucchini into bite-sized pieces.

In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Add the shrimp and chopped vegetables to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly.

Let the mixture marinate for 15-30 minutes for flavor absorption.

Thread shrimp and vegetables onto the soaked skewers, alternating between them.

Place the skewers on the preheated grill, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side until shrimp are opaque and vegetables are tender.

Remove from the grill and let rest for a couple of minutes.

Serve hot with additional lemon wedges if desired.
