Ingredients

• 1 pound Large shrimp (peeled and deveined, tails on)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary leaves (finely chopped)
• 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
• 6 pieces Wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.

Step 2

Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the chopped rosemary, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Whisk together to create the marinade.

Step 4

Pour the marinade over the shrimp, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.

Step 5

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers, piercing each shrimp twice to keep them secure. Avoid overcrowding the skewers for even cooking.

Step 7

Place the shrimp skewers on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook, as shrimp can become rubbery if left on the grill too long.

Step 8

Remove the shrimp skewers from the grill and transfer them to a serving plate. Garnish with additional chopped rosemary or a drizzle of lemon juice, if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately as an appetizer or pair with a side salad, rice, or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
