Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Skewers (if using)
If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.

Marinate the Shrimp
In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.

Grill the Shrimp
Place the skewers or individual shrimp directly on the grill. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side or until the shrimp are opaque and pink. Avoid overcooking to maintain tenderness.
