Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and paprika to create the marinade.
Add the cleaned jumbo shrimp to the bowl and gently toss to coat all shrimp evenly with the marinade. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to an hour.
Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or pan to prevent sticking.
Thread shrimp onto skewers for easier handling if desired, leaving a bit of space between each shrimp for even cooking.
Place the shrimp on the hot grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp are pink and opaque, with slight charring for added flavor.
Remove the shrimp from the grill and transfer them onto a serving platter.
Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for garnish before serving.
Serve immediately with a side of your choice, such as a light salad or grilled vegetables, for a complete low-fat dining experience.
