Marinade

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Marinade

    In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Shrimp

    Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F or 190-200°C).

  2. 4

    Skewer the Shrimp

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers, leaving a little space between each shrimp.

  3. 5

    Grill the Shrimp

    Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are opaque and have nice grill marks. Avoid overcooking to keep them juicy.

  4. 6

    Serve

    Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill. Serve the shrimp with lemon wedges and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
