Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 8 pieces Skewers, soaked in water for 20 minutes (if using wooden skewers)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, chopped dill, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika to create the marinade.
Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss until all the shrimp are coated evenly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
If using wooden skewers, ensure they have been soaking in water to prevent burning. Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers, leaving a small space between each shrimp.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn pink and are opaque in the center. Be careful not to overcook.
Remove the skewers from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Garnish with additional chopped dill or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, if desired, and serve immediately.
