Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 lb Shrimp
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 4 garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp lemon juice divided
- Parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add the peeled and deveined shrimp along with the spices, garlic, olive oil, and 1/2 the lemon juice.
- Mix everything together thoroughly.
- Soak the wooden skewers in water for about an hour before using. Place the shrimp on the skewers.
- Bring the grill to medium heat and grill the shrimp for about 2-4 minutes per side. Once the shrimp are done, drizzle the remaining half of the lemon juice on top and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Notes
- Get peeled and deveined shrimp- Buy the shrimp already peeled and deveined to save you lots of time and effort.
- Soak the skewers- Soaking the skewers in water will keep them moist enough that they won't catch fire while the shrimp are grilling.
- Don't overcook the shrimp- Be careful to not cook them too long or they will become tough and rubbery. They should be pink and opaque when done.
