Ingredients
2 large lemons
½ cup olive oil
¼ cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
¾ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
18 large or jumbo shrimp (prawns)
18 large fresh white mushrooms, brushed and cleaned, stems removed

Directions
Using a sharp knife (or better yet a mandolin!), cut the lemons into 18 1/8 inch thick slices. Set them aside. In a large non aluminum bowl, whisk together the olive oil, wine, chopped thyme, salt, and pepper. Add the lemon slices and shrimp and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate, tossing once or twice, for about 45 minutes.

Heat the grill. Add the mushrooms to the lemons and shrimp and toss to coat. Let stand for 10-15 minutes. Thread the shrimp, lemon slices, and mushrooms onto the skewers in the following manner: Place a lemon slice against the inside curve of a shrimp. Bend the shrimp in half, so that the head end nearly touches the tail end, enclosing the lemon slice in the center. Insert a skewer just above the tail so that it passes through the body twice. Next, slip a mushroom onto the skewer. Repeat until all the ingredients are used, making six skewers in all.

Grill the skewers, turning frequently and brushing once after 3 minutes with the reserved marinade, until the shrimp turn pink and the mushrooms are tender and lightly browned, 8-10 minutes total.
