Spicy Grilled Shrimp with Garlic & Lemon

    1/4 c. extra-virgin olive oil
    6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
    1 tsp. celery seed
    1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
    2 tbsp. whole-grain mustard
    2 lb. large easy-peel shrimp
    2 lemons, 1 thinly sliced and 1 halved
    Kosher salt
    Freshly ground black pepper
    Chopped fresh chives, for serving

Combine oil, garlic, celery seed, and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until garlic is golden, sizzling, and fragrant, 2 to 4 minutes. Whisk in mustard and transfer to a bowl; cool completely.
    
Add shrimp and sliced lemon to oil mixture. Season with salt and black pepper; toss to coat. Refrigerate at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour.
    
Heat grill to medium-high. Grill shrimp and lemon slices until lemons and shrimp are lightly charred and shrimp are just cooked through, 1 to 3 minutes per side.
    
To serve, transfer to a platter, sprinkle with chives, and squeeze lemon halves over top.
