Lemon, Garlic and Parsley Grilled Shrimp

When you put them on the grill, make sure the grill is nice and hot and put them on methodically. I start at the top left and work my way down rows. As soon as I finish putting the last shrimp on the last row, it’s just about time to begin turning them over, which again I do in order. Why? Not because I have OCD or am a control freak (both of which might very well be true) but this way they cook evenly.
