Servings: 4

Ingredients

Large shrimp
1 pound, peeled and deveined
Olive oil
1/4 cup
Garlic
4 cloves, minced
Lemon juice
2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed
Fresh parsley
1/4 cup, chopped
Salt
1 teaspoon
Black pepper
1/2 teaspoon
Lemon wedges
for serving
Skewers
as needed (wooden or metal)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  2. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let marinate in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes for enhanced flavor.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, ensure they have soaked in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  4. Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each shrimp for even cooking.
  5. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and slightly charred.
  6. Remove from the grill and serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
