Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
- 6 pieces Skewers
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, prepare the marinade by combining olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Add the shrimp to the bowl with the marinade. Toss well to ensure each shrimp is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 10 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers, ensuring they are spaced evenly for consistent cooking.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp turn pink and are slightly charred (internal temperature should reach 145°F).
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve the dairy-free grilled shrimp with fresh lemon wedges and your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables or a green salad.
