Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped parsley, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Add the shrimp to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, but not more than 30 minutes to avoid over-marinating.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent the shrimp from sticking.
Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers, about 4-5 shrimp per skewer for even cooking.
Place the shrimp skewers on the preheated grill, and cook for 3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through.
Remove from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for additional squeezing, if desired.
