Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 pound Raw shrimp (peeled and deveined, tails on or off as preferred)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped basil, thyme leaves, smoked paprika, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Place the raw shrimp into a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
Pour the marinade over the shrimp, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the plastic bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate the shrimp for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour to soak in the flavors. Do not marinate for more than 2 hours, as the acidity of the lemon juice can start to break down the shrimp texture.
Remove the shrimp from the marinade (discarding any remaining marinade) and cook as desired—grill, sauté, or bake for a perfectly flavorful dish!
Serve immediately with your favorite gluten-free side dishes, such as rice, quinoa, or a fresh salad.
