• Add cayenne and paprika and mix well.
• Add olive oil and lemon to form a thin paste.
• (NOTE: Make sure the paste isn't too loose or it will not cling to the shrimp.) Toss shrimp with paste until evenly coated.
• (This mixture can be covered and refrigerated for up to an hour before grilling).

When finished, sprinkle leftover breadcrumb mixture over the skewers and lightly press onto the shrimp equally on both sides. Seal the skewers in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least a few hours or overnight.
• Pre-heat the grill or broiler. Medium char the first side, about 2 to 3 minutes pending heat intensity. Flip over and cook until the shrimp is just cooked through, no longer translucent.
• Carefully removing shrimp from the skewers. Serve with lemon wedges.
• Notes: Although bamboo skewers are shown in the picture above, shrimp releases easier with metal skewers sprayed with non-stick.
