Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 pieces Jumbo shrimp
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 8 pieces Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes prior to grilling to prevent burning.
Peel and devein the jumbo shrimp, leaving the tails intact. Rinse under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well mixed.
Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss until well coated. Allow shrimp to marinate for 10-15 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 1 hour if prepping ahead.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers, about 2-3 shrimp per skewer, ensuring they are secure.
Lightly oil the grill grates or use a grilling basket to prevent sticking.
Place the shrimp skewers on the hot grill. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are opaque and grill marks appear.
Remove the shrimp from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve immediately as a main dish or as part of a salad or low-carb wrap.
