Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 medium bell peppers (assorted colors, cut into 1-inch pieces)
- 1 large red onion (cut into 1-inch pieces)
- 2 medium zucchini (cut into 1/2-inch thick rounds)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 10 pieces wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
While the shrimp marinates, prepare the vegetables by cutting the bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini into bite-sized pieces suitable for skewering.
Thread the shrimp and vegetables alternately onto the soaked wooden skewers, ensuring even distribution.
Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the shrimp kabobs on the hot grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and slightly charred, and the vegetables are tender.
Remove the kabobs from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges or your favorite dipping sauce, if desired.
