Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Large raw shrimp (peeled and deveined, tails on)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
- 8 pieces Metal or bamboo skewers (if using bamboo, soak in water for 30 minutes)
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss until all the shrimp are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. If using metal skewers, set them aside.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Thread the shrimp onto skewers, leaving a small gap between each shrimp to ensure even cooking.
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn opaque and have a lightly charred appearance. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp as they can become rubbery.
Remove the shrimp skewers from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh, zesty finish.
