Prepare the Marinade
In a medium bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until well blended.
- 2
Marinate the Shrimp
Add the jumbo shrimp to the marinade, ensuring each shrimp is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Cooking
- 3
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).

Skewer the Shrimp
Thread the marinated jumbo shrimp onto skewers. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning.
- 5
Grill the Shrimp
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Do not overcook as they can become tough.

Garnish and Serve
Once cooked, remove the shrimp skewers from the grill. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
