Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1.5 pounds jumbo shrimp
Marinade Ingredients:
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
- Lemon wedges
Instructions
- Whisk ¼ cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons chopped parsley, and all dry spices in a large mixing bowl until your marinade looks thoroughly combined.
- Drop 1 ½ pounds jumbo shrimp into the marinade, ensuring each piece gets completely covered with the seasoning mixture.
- Allow your shrimp to rest and absorb flavors for exactly 12 minutes at room temperature, gently stirring once halfway through.
- Heat your grill or grill pan to 400°F, creating an even medium-high temperature across the cooking surface.
- Carefully slide each marinated shrimp onto metal skewers, spacing them about ½ inch apart to ensure even cooking.
- Place skewered shrimp directly on the hot grill, cooking precisely 2 minutes on the first side until edges turn light pink.
- Flip skewers and cook an additional 1-2 minutes, watching for slight charring and complete pink color transformation.
- Transfer grilled shrimp to a serving platter and garnish with fresh lemon wedges for a bright, zesty finish.
Notes
- Marinating time is crucial for flavor development, so don’t rush the 10-15 minute process.
- Wooden skewers must be soaked in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
- Check shrimp for doneness by looking for a pink color and slight curl – overcooking makes them tough and rubbery.
- For a low-carb option, serve these grilled shrimp over a bed of zucchini noodles or mixed greens instead of traditional sides.
