Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 0.25 cup lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 pieces wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.
In a mixing bowl, combine lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, olive oil, chopped parsley, sea salt, and black pepper.
Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated shrimp onto the soaked skewers, ensuring an even distribution for balanced cooking.
Place the shrimp skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through.
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley and lemon wedges if desired.
