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
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the chopped rosemary, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful marinade.
- 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.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it's hot enough to achieve a nice char on the shrimp.
- While the grill is heating, thread the marinated shrimp onto the soaked wooden skewers, leaving a little space between each shrimp for even cooking.
- 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.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the skewers from the grill and serve hot, garnished with extra rosemary or lemon wedges if desired.
Tips
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- Try using different herbs like thyme or oregano for a variation on flavor.
- Serve with a side of garlic butter or a refreshing yogurt sauce for dipping.
