For best results, use fresh, high-quality shrimp. Smaller shrimp will cook faster, so adjust cooking time accordingly. If using bamboo skewers, ensure they are thoroughly soaked in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning. Serve the Basil Shrimp immediately, garnished with fresh basil leaves and lemon wedges for an extra burst of flavor. Consider serving with a side of grilled vegetables or a light salad for a complete and balanced meal.
