Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium Yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium Zucchini, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 1 medium Red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 10 pieces Wooden skewers, soaked in water
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
While the shrimp is marinating, prepare the vegetables by cutting them into bite-sized pieces.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, around 375°F (190°C).
Thread the shrimp, bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion alternately onto the soaked wooden skewers. Leave a small gap between each piece for even cooking.
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the kabobs onto the preheated grill.
Grill the kabobs for 2-3 minutes per side, or until shrimp are opaque and cooked through, and the vegetables have a slight char.
Remove the kabobs from the grill and serve immediately, garnished with additional lemon wedges if desired.
