Marinade

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

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

  2. 2

    Marinate the Shrimp

    Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade, making sure they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

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

  2. 4

    Skewer the Shrimp

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 20 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers, about 4-5 shrimp per skewer.

  3. 5

    Grill the Shrimp

    Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook.

  4. 6

    Serve

    Remove the shrimp from the grill and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
