In a medium bowl, whisk together the garlic, olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, crushed red pepper, and Worcestershire Sauce.
Preheat the grill to 450 degrees. Grill for 2 minutes on each side or until they turn light pink on the outside and opaque or white on the inside. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with fresh lemon wedges.

Use good quality fresh or frozen large or jumbo shrimp. Prep the shrimp ahead of time by peeling (leave the tails intact) and deveining them. Dry them well with paper towels.
Toss the shrimp with the marinade in a bowl or zipper bag for at least 15 minutes up to 1 hour. Store in the fridge while it is marinating.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in warm water for 30 minutes before threading the shrimp on.
Preheat the grill to 450 degrees. These are equally delicious grilled over a charcoal or gas grill.
If you want to add vegetables to the recipe, marinate them separately. Thread them on separate skewers and add them to the grill about 5-7 minutes ahead of the shrimp.
