Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and paprika to create the marinade.

Thread shrimp onto skewers for easier handling if desired, leaving a bit of space between each shrimp for even cooking.

Place the shrimp on the hot grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp are pink and opaque, with slight charring for added flavor.
Step 6
Remove the shrimp from the grill and transfer them onto a serving platter.
Step 7
Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for garnish before serving.
Step 8
Serve immediately with a side of your choice, such as a light salad or grilled vegetables, for a complete low-fat dining experience.
