Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 medium Red onion, cut into chunks
- 2 medium Bell peppers (any color), cut into chunks
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 8 Wooden or metal skewers
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.
While the shrimp marinates, prepare the vegetables by cutting the red onion and bell peppers into large chunks. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 10 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Thread the marinated shrimp, red onion chunks, bell pepper chunks, and cherry tomatoes onto the skewers, alternating ingredients for an even mix.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through, and the vegetables are slightly charred.
Remove the skewers from the grill and serve immediately. Pair with tzatziki sauce and warm pita bread for a complete meal, or enjoy with a fresh side salad.
