In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until combined.
03 -
Add shrimp to the marinade, ensuring even coating, and let stand for 15 to 30 minutes to absorb flavors.

In a separate bowl, whisk mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, honey, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
05 -
Thread 4 to 5 marinated shrimp onto each skewer, making sure they lay flat for even grilling.

Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until shrimp turn pink and slightly charred.

Transfer shrimp skewers to a serving plate. Present with lemon wedges and chilled dipping sauce on the side. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
