Clean the shrimp by removing the shell, head and legs, but leave the tail. With a toothpick, poke a hole in the back of the shrimp and remove the dark vein.

Place the cleaned shrimp in a bowl and season with the dry seasonings. Mix well to distribute evenly. Drizzle with a drizzle of olive oil and mix again. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate in the fridge for 20 minutes.

After the 20 min. remove the shrimp from the fridge and it's time to add the salt. Heat a frying pan and place half of the smarties. Let it brown for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side so the shrimp don't get rubbery. Then repeat with the remaining shrimp.

Place the skewers on a plate and serve with lemon and garlic mayonnaise. Serves as a starter or accompaniment.
