Make the marinade: Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme and smoked paprika. Season to taste with some salt and pepper.
Place the shrimp in a zip top bag and marinate with the marinade for 30 minutes up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Pre heat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit with the the rack in the middle.
Soak wooden skewers in water before using so they don't burn. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Thread 4-5 shrimp onto the skewers alternating with the sliced lemons.
Place the skewers onto the baking sheet. Bake for 5-7 minutes, until pink, firm and cooked through.
Plate the skewers. Melt the butter. Drizzle it over the shrimp, sprinkle on the parsley.
Serve immediately.

If using the grill: I like metal skewers for the grill best. Season the grill with some canola oil. Pre heat the grill to medium high. Grill skewers for 3 minutes on each side or until pink, firm and cooked through. Plate and finish with the melted butter and freshly chopped parsley.
