Chicken Skewer

Method

Chicken Skewer

  1. 1

    Prep skewers

    Soak the wooden skewers in water for 20-30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, whisk olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to form a marinade.

  3. 3

    Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture and help the marinade adhere.

  4. 4

    Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.

  5. 5

    Thread 4-6 shrimp onto each skewer, leaving a small space between each shrimp.

  6. 6

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates to prevent sticking.

  7. 7

    Grill skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, turning once, until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and cooked through.

  8. 8

    Remove from grill, let rest for 1-2 minutes, and serve with lemon wedges or garnish with parsley if desired.
