Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 1 tablespoon fresh marjoram leaves (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
- 1 lemon (zested and juiced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 8 wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes, if using)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, honey, marjoram, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
Step 2
Add the shrimp to the bowl with the marinade and toss until the shrimp are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 3
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 5
Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers, ensuring each skewer holds 5-6 shrimp and the shrimp are evenly spaced.
Step 6
Grill the shrimp skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and slightly charred along the edges.
Step 7
Remove the skewers from the grill and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with additional chopped herbs or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for extra flavor.
