1. | Soak skewer sticks in a bowl of cold water for at least 10 minutes (this will prevent them from burning while on the grill). Preheat grill to medium high. |
2. | Build skewers by alternating veggies and shrimp, pushing ingredients closely together on each skewer. Brush each with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. |
3. | Lay skewers down on grill grates and cook about 3 minutes each side (for a total of about 9 minutes), until veggies and shrimp have good sear marks on them, but are not overcooked. Remove and place on a large platter. |
4. | Squeeze a fresh lemon over the plateful of skewers. Serve! |
