Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Large shrimp
- 0.25 cup Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 4 large (minced) Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 8 pieces (soaked in water for 30 minutes) Wooden skewers
Instructions
Begin by soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails on for a more elegant presentation. Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, chopped parsley, sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to create a marinade.
Add the prepared shrimp to the marinade, tossing to ensure each shrimp is well coated. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the shrimp onto the soaked skewers, piercing each shrimp twice so they stay in place.
Place the skewers on the hot grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are opaque and have nice grill marks.
Remove the shrimp skewers from the grill and let them rest for a minute before serving.
Serve the grilled garlic-lemon shrimp with additional lemon wedges and a sprinkle of fresh parsley, if desired. Enjoy as a main dish or as part of a mixed seafood platter.
