Shrimp Marinade

Method

Shrimp Marinade

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

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

  2. 2

    Marinate the Shrimp

    Add the shrimp to the marinade mixture, ensuring each shrimp is well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Vegetable Skewers

  1. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Chop the bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a bowl.

  2. 4

    Season the Vegetables

    Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables. Add salt and black pepper. Toss everything together until evenly coated.

  3. 5

    Assemble Skewers

    Thread the seasoned vegetables onto skewers, alternating colors and types for a vibrant presentation.

Grilling

  1. 6

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375°F (190°C).

  2. 7

    Grill the Shrimp

    Remove the shrimp from the marinade and thread them onto skewers. Grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque.

  3. 8

    Grill the Vegetable Skewers

    Place the vegetable skewers on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.

Serving

  1. 9

    Prepare the Plates

    Warm the pita bread on the grill for 1-2 minutes until soft and pliable.

  2. 10

    Serve

    Serve the grilled shrimp and vegetable skewers on a platter with warm pita bread, tzatziki sauce, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
