Grilled Shrimp Skewers are a delightful and easy-to-make dish perfect for outdoor gatherings and barbecues. Juicy shrimp are marinated in a flavorful mixture and grilled to perfection on skewers.
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
- 8 pieces skewers wooden or metal
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers, about 4-5 shrimp per skewer.
- Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are opaque and have grill marks.
- Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
