   In a bowl, toss the 1 lb shrimp with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 minced garlic clove, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Let marinate for 10 minutes.

   Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers, about 4-5 per skewer.

   Grill the skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, until shrimp are pink and opaque. Squeeze half the lemon over the skewers.

   Spread the tomato puree on a serving platter. Arrange the shrimp skewers on top, sprinkle with remaining parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.
