Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers (optional)
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning while grilling.
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, chopped parsley, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl and toss to thoroughly coat with the marinade. Cover, refrigerate, and let the shrimp marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. If grilling directly, lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
If desired, thread the marinated shrimp onto the soaked wooden skewers, leaving a bit of space between each shrimp for even cooking.
Place the shrimp or skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn pink and are opaque throughout. Be careful not to overcook, as shrimp can become rubbery.
Remove the shrimp from the grill and serve immediately. Garnish with additional chopped parsley or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, if desired.
