Rosemary Grilled Shrimp Skewers

Ingredients

• Wooden skewers (8-10, soaked in water for 30 minutes)
• Shrimp (1 pound, peeled and deveined)
• Olive oil (3 tablespoons)
• Lemon juice (2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed)
• Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
• Fresh rosemary (2 tablespoons, chopped)
• Salt (1 teaspoon, to taste)
• Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon, freshly ground)

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the chopped rosemary, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful marinade.
2. Add the shrimp to the bowl and gently toss to ensure they are evenly coated with the marinade. Cover and let them marinate for 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it's hot enough to achieve a nice char on the shrimp.
4. While the grill is heating, thread the marinated shrimp onto the soaked wooden skewers, leaving a little space between each shrimp for even cooking.
5. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, indicating they are cooked through.
6. Once cooked, carefully remove the skewers from the grill and serve hot, garnished with extra rosemary or lemon wedges if desired.
