Ingredients
- 1 pound Large raw shrimp (peeled and deveined, tails on)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
- 8 pieces Metal or bamboo skewers (if using bamboo, soak in water for 30 minutes)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss until all the shrimp are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Step 4
If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. If using metal skewers, set them aside.
Step 5
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Step 6
Thread the shrimp onto skewers, leaving a small gap between each shrimp to ensure even cooking.
Step 7
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn opaque and have a lightly charred appearance. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp as they can become rubbery.
Step 8
Remove the shrimp skewers from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Step 9
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh, zesty finish.
