Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh basil, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers (if using)
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, parsley, basil, thyme, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the shrimp to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to let the flavors infuse.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan instead, preheat it on the stove over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers, making sure to pierce through both the tail and head ends of each shrimp for stability.
Lightly oil the grill grates or grill pan 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. Avoid overcooking to keep the shrimp tender.
Remove the skewers from the grill and serve immediately. Garnish with additional fresh parsley, a squeeze of lemon, or serve alongside your favorite dipping sauce or side dishes.
