Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to create a marinade.
Add the peeled and deveined jumbo shrimp to the marinade, making sure each shrimp is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are white-hot before grilling.
Once the grill is ready, thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers, leaving a small gap between each shrimp for even cooking.
Place the shrimp skewers on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the shrimp turns pink and opaque, with a slight char.
Remove the shrimp from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
Serve the grilled shrimp hot with lemon wedges on the side for an extra citrus kick. Enjoy your keto-friendly grilled jumbo shrimp as a delightful appetizer or a main course.
