Ingredients:

- Shrimp (peeled and deveined)

- Skewers (wooden or metal)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your grill: Prepare your grill for direct grilling over medium-high heat.

2. Prepare the shrimp: Rinse the shrimp under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels.

3. Season the shrimp: Place the shrimp in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and your desired seasonings. Mix well to ensure that all the shrimp are evenly coated.

4. Skewer the shrimp: Take a skewer and slide the shrimp onto it, starting from the tail end. Continue adding shrimp to the skewer until it is filled. Make sure to leave a little space between each shrimp to allow for even cooking.

Tips for Perfect Shrimp Skewers:

- Use fresh, large shrimp for the best results.

- Soak the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using them to prevent them from burning on the grill.

- Cook the shrimp skewers over high heat to ensure that they cook quickly and evenly.

- Avoid overcooking the shrimp, as they will become tough and rubbery.
