Ingredients
- 1 pound Plant-based shrimp
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 12 pieces Skewers
Directions
Step 1
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, chopped parsley, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 3
Add the plant-based shrimp to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 4
Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Thread the marinated plant-based shrimp onto the soaked skewers, ensuring they are secure but not packed too tightly.
Step 6
Brush the grill grates with a bit of oil to prevent sticking, then place the skewers on the grill.
Step 7
Grill for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are golden and cooked through. Since these are plant-based, they don't need as long as regular shrimp.
Step 8
Remove from the grill and serve immediately. Garnish with additional chopped parsley and lemon wedges, if desired.
