Shrimp Marinade

For Grilling

Method

Marinating the Shrimp

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

  2. 2

    Add Shrimp

    Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Grilling the Shrimp

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (200°C).

  2. 4

    Prepare Skewers

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. If using metal skewers, they can be used directly.

  3. 5

    Skewer the Shrimp

    Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each shrimp.

  4. 6

    Grill the Shrimp

    Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are opaque and slightly charred.

  5. 7

    Serve

    Remove the shrimp from the grill and serve immediately with lemon wedges and sprinkled with fresh chopped parsley.
