A lemon herb marinade is a great option for this dish. Mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, herbs like thyme and parsley, salt, and pepper in a bowl or a blender.
Toss the shrimp and vegetables in the marinade, making sure they are evenly coated. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Thread the shrimp and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between the shrimp and vegetables. Be careful not to pack the skewers too tightly or the ingredients won't cook evenly.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and the vegetables are slightly charred and tender.
Remove the skewers from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the top and garnish the skewers with additional herbs and lemon slices for extra flavor.
