Ingredients
- 16 pieces Jumbo shrimp
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 8 pieces Wooden or metal skewers
Directions
Step 1
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes prior to grilling to prevent burning.
Step 2
Peel and devein the jumbo shrimp, leaving the tails intact. Rinse under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well mixed.
Step 4
Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss until well coated. Allow shrimp to marinate for 10-15 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 1 hour if prepping ahead.
Step 5
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Step 6
Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers, about 2-3 shrimp per skewer, ensuring they are secure.
Step 7
Lightly oil the grill grates or use a grilling basket to prevent sticking.
Step 8
Place the shrimp skewers on the hot grill. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are opaque and grill marks appear.
Step 9
Remove the shrimp from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Step 10
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Step 11
Serve immediately as a main dish or as part of a salad or low-carb wrap.
