Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers, soaked in water
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, chopped parsley, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Place the shrimp in the bowl with the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 1 hour for more flavor).
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
Thread the marinated shrimp onto the soaked wooden skewers, piercing each shrimp twice for stability.
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the shrimp skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
Remove the skewers from the grill and transfer to a platter.
Garnish with additional chopped parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, if desired.
Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes such as rice, salad, or grilled vegetables.
