If using wooden skewers, place them in a shallow dish and cover with water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.

In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, smoked paprika, lemon juice, honey, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Whisk until all ingredients are well combined.

Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade, tossing gently to ensure all shrimp are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 30 minutes. Do not marinate for too long as the lemon juice can begin to 'cook' the shrimp.

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F) or preheat your oven broiler to high with a rack positioned about 6 inches from the heat source. Lightly oil the grill grates or a broiler pan to prevent sticking.

Thread the marinated shrimp onto the soaked skewers, typically 4-5 shrimp per skewer, depending on their size. Try not to overcrowd the skewers to ensure even cooking.

Grill the shrimp skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque and are cooked through. If broiling, place skewers on the prepared broiler pan and broil for 2-3 minutes per side, flipping once.

Remove the skewers from the grill or broiler. Garnish generously with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately as a delicious appetizer.
