Ingredients

• 1 pound Jumbo Shrimp
• 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 Lemon
• 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
• 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
• 1 tablespoon Fresh Dill, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Begin by cleaning the jumbo shrimp. Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails intact for easier grilling and presentation.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, zest of one lemon, and the juice of one lemon.

Step 3

Add the chopped fresh parsley, half the chopped dill, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the olive oil mixture, stirring well to combine.

Step 4

Place the cleaned shrimp into the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Allow the shrimp to marinate for at least 15 minutes. Do not marinate for more than 30 minutes, as the acid in the lemon juice can begin to cook the shrimp.

Step 5

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Step 6

Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers, leaving a little space between each shrimp to ensure even cooking.

Step 7

Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the shrimp skewers on the grill.

Step 8

Grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are opaque in the center and have a nice charred color on the outside.

Step 9

Remove the shrimp from the grill and sprinkle with the remaining fresh dill.

Step 10

Serve the grilled shrimp immediately, garnished with lemon wedges if desired.
