Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Jumbo shrimp (raw, peeled, and deveined)
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to make the marinade.
Add the peeled and deveined jumbo shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the shrimp from the marinade and thread them onto skewers, ensuring they are secure but not too tightly packed.
Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking.
Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are opaque and have a slight char. Be careful not to overcook, as shrimp can become tough.
Remove the shrimp from the grill and serve hot, garnished with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
