Ingredients

• 1 lb Large shrimp (peeled, deveined, tails-on)
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 0.5 tsp Ground cumin
• 0.5 tsp Chili powder
• 0.5 tsp Dried oregano
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
• 4 wedges Lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 3

Add the shrimp to the bowl of marinade and stir to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, but no more than 1 hour, to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 4

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Thread the marinated shrimp onto metal or soaked wooden skewers, piercing through both the head and tail ends to secure them.

Step 6

Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque with slightly charred edges. Avoid overcooking as shrimp can become rubbery.

Step 7

Once cooked, carefully remove the shrimp from the grill and transfer them to a serving plate.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of fresh citrus flavor.
