Ingredients
- 1 pound large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
- 10 pieces metal or soaked wooden skewers
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined to create the marinade.
Step 2
Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly, then cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.
Step 3
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
Step 4
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers, making sure they are evenly spaced without overcrowding.
Step 6
Place the shrimp skewers on the hot grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Avoid overcooking to keep the shrimp tender and juicy.
Step 7
Remove the skewers from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Step 8
Garnish the shrimp with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for added flavor.
Step 9
Enjoy your Shrimp on the Barby with your favorite sides such as grilled vegetables, rice, or a crisp salad!
