Steps:
- Finely grate the zest from 4 of the lemons, then pulse in a mini food processor with 3 tablespoons salt.

Thinly slice the 2 remaining lemons and add to the bowl.

- Preheat a grill to medium high. Thread the shrimp onto the skewers. Brush the grill with vegetable oil, then add the lemon slices and grill until they begin to char, turning once, about 2 minutes; transfer to a platter. Stir the mint into the remaining marinade. Add the shrimp skewers to the grill and cook, brushing with the marinade-mint mixture, until the shells begin to char, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to the platter and sprinkle with the lemon salt to taste.
