Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Shrimp
Rinse the fresh shrimp under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels. Remove the shells and devein if necessary.
Make the Marinade
In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well mixed.
Marinate the Shrimp
Add the cleaned shrimp to the bowl with the marinade. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Grilling
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).
Skewer the Shrimp
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers, about 4-5 shrimp per skewer.
Serving
Garnish and Serve
Once cooked, remove the shrimp from the grill and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve immediately with lemon wedges if desired.
