Main Ingredients

Marinade Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

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

  2. 2

    Marinate the Shrimp

    Add the shrimp to the bowl with the marinade. Stir gently to ensure all the shrimp are coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the shrimp to absorb the flavors.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C). If using a grill pan, heat it on the stovetop over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Grill the Shrimp

    Remove the shrimp from the marinade and discard the marinade. Thread the shrimp onto skewers for easier grilling. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.

  3. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Once the shrimp are cooked, remove them from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish and serve immediately.
