Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp (large, peeled and deveined)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, honey, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss gently to ensure the marinade coats all the shrimp evenly. Cover the bowl and let the shrimp marinate in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before use to prevent burning.
Place the shrimp skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are opaque and pink, and they have grill marks.
Remove the shrimp skewers from the grill and let them rest for 1-2 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
