Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 pound Raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, soy sauce, honey, paprika, cayenne pepper, ground black pepper, and salt until well combined.
Chop fresh parsley and stir it into the marinade.
Add the raw shrimp to the bowl, ensuring each shrimp is fully coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 20 minutes to prevent burning.
Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers or place them directly on the grill grates. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and slightly charred on the edges.
Remove shrimp from the grill and serve hot. Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired.
