Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 Wooden or metal skewers
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, start by soaking them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated shrimp onto the prepared skewers, distributing them evenly.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through.
Remove the skewers from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Garnish with fresh lemon wedges and additional parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your Whole30 Lemon Garlic Grilled Shrimp Skewers as a delightful healthy meal!
