Ingredients
- 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges, for serving
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped parsley, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Step 2
Add the shrimp to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, but not more than 30 minutes to avoid over-marinating.
Step 3
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent the shrimp from sticking.
Step 5
Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers, about 4-5 shrimp per skewer for even cooking.
Step 6
Place the shrimp skewers on the preheated grill, and cook for 3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through.
Step 7
Remove from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Step 8
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for additional squeezing, if desired.
