Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, and paprika to create the marinade.
Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Cover and let the shrimp marinate in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes for maximum flavor.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Thread the shrimp onto skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 15-20 minutes before use to prevent burning).
Place the shrimp skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn pink and are slightly charred around the edges.
Remove from the grill and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley or an additional squeeze of lemon.
