Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 zucchini, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 8 wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
In a bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, fresh dill, garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Add the shrimp to the marinade, toss to coat evenly, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
While the shrimp is marinating, prepare the vegetables by cutting them as directed.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
Thread the shrimp, red bell pepper pieces, zucchini rounds, and red onion wedges onto the skewers, alternating ingredients for a colorful arrangement.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the vegetables are slightly charred.
Remove the kabobs from the grill and serve immediately, garnished with additional fresh dill if desired. Enjoy!
