Marinade

Shrimp

Serving

Method

Preparation of Marinade

  1. 1

    Mix Marinade

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

Marinating the Shrimp

  1. 2

    Marinate Shrimp

    Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.

Assembling the Skewers

  1. 3

    Prepare Skewers

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill. Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers, about 4-5 shrimp per skewer.

Grilling

  1. 4

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, heat it over medium-high heat on the stovetop.

  2. 5

    Grill Shrimp

    Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve

    Remove the shrimp skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Serve with warm pita bread, tzatziki sauce, chopped parsley, and lemon wedges.
