Season the shrimp generously with salt and pepper and set aside.
To a large mixing bowl, add the butter, harissa, lime juice, salt, and garlic. Whisk to combine.
Add the shrimp to the mixing bowl and toss to coat in the sauce. Let marinade for 60 minutes.
Thread the shrimp onto the skewers and pour any remaining marinade over top.
Heat a large grill pan over medium high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the skewers to the pan and cook, rotating halfway through, until the shrimp are cooked all the way through, about 5 minutes.
Serve with lime wedges.
