Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 8 pieces Skewers (if wood, soak in water for 30 minutes prior to use)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, onion powder, black pepper, dried parsley, and honey to form a marinade.
Place the peeled and deveined shrimp in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the shrimp, ensuring all the shrimp are well coated.
Cover the dish or seal the bag, and refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes to allow the shrimp to absorb the flavors. Do not marinate for longer than 30 minutes as the acidic lemon juice can begin to 'cook' the shrimp.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers, ensuring they are evenly spaced for uniform cooking.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Be cautious not to overcook.
Remove the shrimp skewers from the grill and let them rest for a minute before serving.
Serve warm with your choice of low sodium sides such as grilled vegetables, a fresh salad, or brown rice.
