Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole Lemon, juiced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the peeled and deveined jumbo shrimp to the marinade, ensuring each shrimp is well coated. Cover the bowl and let the shrimp marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
While the shrimp is marinating, soak 8 wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated shrimp onto the soaked skewers, leaving a small gap between each shrimp for even cooking.
Place the shrimp skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and have grill marks.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a minute before serving.
Serve the grilled jumbo shrimp fresh off the grill with a sprinkle of additional parsley, if desired, and enjoy your Whole30-friendly meal!
