Ingredients
- 1 pound Large shrimp
- 0.25 cup Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 4 large (minced) Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 8 pieces (soaked in water for 30 minutes) Wooden skewers
Directions
Step 1
Begin by soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Step 2
Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails on for a more elegant presentation. Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, chopped parsley, sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to create a marinade.
Step 4
Add the prepared shrimp to the marinade, tossing to ensure each shrimp is well coated. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Step 5
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 6
Thread the shrimp onto the soaked skewers, piercing each shrimp twice so they stay in place.
Step 7
Place the skewers on the hot grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are opaque and have nice grill marks.
Step 8
Remove the shrimp skewers from the grill and let them rest for a minute before serving.
Step 9
Serve the grilled garlic-lemon shrimp with additional lemon wedges and a sprinkle of fresh parsley, if desired. Enjoy as a main dish or as part of a mixed seafood platter.
