Ingredients
1 lb (225g) large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
Combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl
Submerge shrimp in marinade; refrigerate for at least 20 minutes
Thread shrimp onto greased metal skewers or soaked wooden skewers
Preheat grill to 450°F (230°C)
Grill 2-3 minutes per side, rotating 90° for cross-hatched char
Brush with remaining marinade during grilling
Notes
Soak shrimp in milk 30 minutes to reduce fishiness (optional)
Balance with cherry tomatoes or mushrooms on skewers
Use 12-inch skewers for even cooking
Test doneness: shrimp should be opaque with slightly translucent center
Metal skewers are ideal; soak wooden skewers 30 minutes to prevent burning
