Chicken Skewer
Method
Chicken Skewer
- 1
Prep skewers
Soak the wooden skewers in water for 20-30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
- 2
In a bowl, whisk olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to form a marinade.
- 3
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture and help the marinade adhere.
- 4
Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.
- 5
Thread 4-6 shrimp onto each skewer, leaving a small space between each shrimp.
- 6
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- 7
Grill skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, turning once, until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and cooked through.
