Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 0.25 cup lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 8 pieces wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers, dividing them evenly among the skewers.
Place the shrimp skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are opaque and slightly charred.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the shrimp skewers warm with a sprinkle of additional parsley, if desired.
