Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 whole lemon, juiced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 units garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 units wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, honey, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat them evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated shrimp onto the soaked skewers, approximately 4-5 shrimp per skewer.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are opaque and lightly charred.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled shrimp skewers alongside a fresh salad or with your favorite dipping sauces.
