Grilled Garlic Shrimp
Grilled Garlic Shrimp marinated in a homemade lemon garlic dressing, grilled for approximately 5-6 minutes with the tails on, making them easy to grab and enjoy.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons parsley chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasonings
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1½ lb large shrimp peeled & deveined, tail-ON
- Lemon wedges to garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the ingredients to marinate; olive oil, parsley, lemon juice, garlic, lime zest, Italian seasonings, salt, crushed red pepper, and black pepper.
- Pour the marinade over the shrimp and toss until well coated. Allow the shrimp to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Thread the shrimp on a wooden or metal skewer until the end of the skewers.
- Place the shrimp skewers on the griddle or grill pan and cook for 4-5 minutes until the shrimp is cooked through, turning the skewers often.
- Once done, garnish the shrimp skewers with parsley and lemon wedges before servings.
Notes
- Marination Time: Marinate the shrimp for at least 30 minutes but no more than 2 hours to prevent the acid from the lemon juice from cooking the shrimp.
- Grilling Temperature: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This ensures the shrimp cooks quickly and evenly.
- Avoid Overcooking: Grill shrimp for about 2-3 minutes per side. Overcooked shrimp can become rubbery.
