Ingredients:

64    large         shrimp
                    tails left on
4                   lemons
8     large         rosemary sprigs
                    Lemon Garlic Mayonnaise
                    === MARINADE ===
1/4   cup           extra-virgin olive oil
1/4   cup           fresh lemon juice
4                   garlic cloves
                    a bit of salt
1     tablespoon    finely-minced fresh rosemary
                    Freshly-ground black pepper

Directions: one line for each direction. When saved the lines will be numbered.

Soak 24 (10-inch) wooden skewers in water to cover for 6 to 8 hours. (This helps prevent their burning on the grill.)
Combine all the marinade ingredients in a large bowl.
Rinse the shrimp under cold water. Drain and pat dry. Toss shrimp in the marinade and let rest for 30 minutes.
Prepare hot coals for grilling or preheat the broiler.
Thread 16 skewers with 3 shrimp each and 8 skewers with 2 shrimp each. Grill or broil 4 inches from the heat source for 3 minutes per side, brushing once on each side with extra marinade.
To serve, place a lemon half in the bottom of 8 wine glasses, cut-side down. Into each lemon half, stick 2 skewers with 3 shrimp and 1 skewer with 2 shrimp, balancing them. Insert a rosemary sprig into each lemon half (using an extra skewer to jab a hole, if necessary). Serve the glasses atop small plates with a bowl of my Lemon Garlic Mayonnaise for dipping.
This recipe yields 8 servings.

Comments: For an impressive presentation, I always set the lemon halves in red-wine glasses, because their bowls are larger than white-wine glasses. Serve extra lemons alongside.
