Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 8 skewers (wooden skewers soaked for 30 minutes)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, lemon zest, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  4. Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers, placing 4 to 5 shrimp per skewer with slight spacing between them.
  5. Place skewers on the grill and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
  6. Remove from grill, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning.
  • Do not overcook the shrimp, as they can become rubbery very quickly.
  • For the best flavor, use fresh lemon juice rather than bottled.
