1/4 cup harissa paste
juice of 1 small lemon

Instructions
- Place shrimp in a medium bowl, add harissa paste, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Cover with a plastic wrap and let it marinate on a countertop for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile soak the wooden skewers. You can skip this step if using a grill pan instead of outdoor grill.
- Preheat outdoor grill to a medium high heat. Thread shrimp on skewers and grill for 2-3 minutes per side. Remove shrimp from skewers, garnish with chopped cilantro and serve. If using a grill pan, make sure you preheat it until very hot. Also use an oil with high smoke point such as avocado oil. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side.
