2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp creole seasoning

1 1/2 lbs shrimp, shelled with tails intact, deveined
6 lemon wedges

Combine all ingredients in bowl except shrimp, mix well then add shrimp and turn to coat evenly.
Cover and refridgerate at least 15 minutes.
Thread shrimp on skewers, metal or wooden. If using wooden skewers soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning. We soaked them in beer.
