Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Large raw shrimp (peeled and deveined, tails on)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (extra virgin)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika (optional for extra flavor)
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley (or fresh parsley, chopped)
- 8 pieces Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, paprika, smoked paprika (if using), ground black pepper, salt, and parsley. Whisk together until fully mixed to create the marinade.
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp with paper towels. Add the shrimp to the bowl with the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes for stronger flavor.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 15 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Preheat a grill or stovetop grill pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the grates or pan with non-stick spray or a small amount of olive oil.
Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers, piercing through both the tail and the thickest part of each shrimp. Divide the shrimp evenly among the skewers.
Place the skewers onto the preheated grill or grill pan. Cook the shrimp for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink, opaque, and are lightly charred on the edges. Avoid overcooking to prevent tough shrimp.
Transfer the cooked shrimp skewers to a serving platter. Optionally garnish with additional parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Serve immediately as an appetizer or pair with steamed vegetables and rice for a complete low-fat meal.
