# Ingredients You'll Need:
→ Seafood
01 -
450 grams peeled, cleaned jumbo shrimp
→ Marinade
02 -
Zest from a lemon
03 -
Juice squeezed from 1 lemon
04 -
1 teaspoon paprika powder
05 -
As much black pepper as you want
06 -
Salt, your call
07 -
4 garlic cloves, minced small
08 -
45 milliliters good olive oil
→ To Finish
09 -
Chopped fresh parsley for topping
10 -
Lemon wedges to serve alongside
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
After taking the shrimp off the grill, let them chill out for a minute. Sprinkle some parsley on top and bring out those lemon wedges right away.
02 -
Get your skewers of shrimp on the hot grill. Flip once after a couple minutes. You want them pink and firm, not see-through—should only need 2 to 3 minutes both sides.
03 -
Slide the shrimp onto your skewers, with a little bit of room in between each one so they all cook the same.
04 -
Turn your grill to medium-high now. Wooden skewers? Dunk them in water for about half an hour so they won’t burn.
05 -
Drop the shrimp into the bowl with the marinade. Make sure every piece gets covered. Toss it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors soak in.
06 -
Grab a big bowl. Dump in the olive oil, chopped garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until it all blends together well.
# Extra Tips and Tricks:
01 -
Letting the shrimp hang out in the marinade really bumps up the flavor.
02 -
Keep an eye on the grill—shrimp cook super fast, so you don’t want them rubbery.
