I'm not a big fan of shrimp but I thought these skewers were delicious. The lemon-garlic marinade was perfect.

The skewers were easy to make but the shrimp was overcooked. I will try again but cook the shrimp for less time.

These skewers were bland. I think I would have liked them more if I had added more garlic.

I followed the recipe exactly and the shrimp turned out tough. I'm not sure what I did wrong.
