Grilled shrimp skewers with lemon wedges and parsley

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)
  • Skewers (wooden or metal)

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until well combined.
  2. Add the shrimp to the marinade, ensuring that each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl and let the shrimp marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator. This will enhance the flavors and make your shrimp juicy and tender.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 10-15 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 about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become rubbery.
  6. Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a minute. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.

These grilled shrimp skewers are delicious served with a side of fresh salad or grilled vegetables. Enjoy this healthy and vibrant meal, and don’t forget to share it with loved ones for a truly enjoyable dining experience!
