1
Start by preparing your shrimp, make sure it's peeled, deveined, and cleaned. Pat dry with paper towel.
2
In a large bowl, combine the oil, chopped basil, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and chopped walnuts.
3
Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss until evenly coated with the mixture. Let the shrimp marinate for 30 minutes.
4
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
5
Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers. If they are too large to risk falling through the grates, you don't need to skewer them. If you're using wooden skewers, make sure to soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to avoid burning.
6
Place the shrimp on the grill and cook until plump and lightly charred, about 3 minutes per side.
7
Transfer the cooked shrimp to a serving plate, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top from the wedges, and serve immediately.
