Shrimp Marinade

Method

Marinating the Shrimp

  1. 1

    Prepare Marinade

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 2

    Add Shrimp

    Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly in the marinade.

  3. 3

    Marinate

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Grilling the Shrimp

  1. 4

    Prepare Skewers

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Alternatively, use metal skewers.

  2. 5

    Preheat Grill

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

  3. 6

    Skewer Shrimp

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

  4. 7

    Grill 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. 8

    Serve

    Remove the shrimp from the grill and serve immediately with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of chopped parsley on top.
