Grilled Rosemary Garlic Shrimp

	¼	cup chopped garlic
	1	tsp. coarse salt
	2	Tbsp. minced fresh rosemary leaves, plus extra sprigs for garnish
	3	Tbsp. olive oil, plus extra oil for brushing
	16	jumbo shrimp (about 10 per pound)
	4	bamboo skewers (each 12 inches long)
	~	Lemon wedges

Place garlic and salt in bowl of mortar or food processor and grind into a smooth paste.
In a large bowl, stir together garlic paste, minced rosemary, and 3 tablespoons oil; add shrimp. Marinate shrimp, covered and chilled, at least 4 hours or overnight.
In a shallow dish, cover skewers with water and soak for 30 minutes. Prepare grill.
To grill, thread 4 shrimp onto each skewer and brush with additional oil. Grill shrimp on an oiled rack, set about 5 inches over glowing coals, 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until just cooked through. Alternatively, brush shrimp with additional oil and grill in a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan, covered, over moderately high heat, 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
Garnish shrimp with rosemary sprigs and serve with lemon wedges.
