Garlic Lemon Shrimp Skewers

Sure, here’s a simple recipe for Garlic Lemon Shrimp Skewers:

Ingredients:

• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• Zest and juice of 1 lemon
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Wooden or metal skewers

Instructions:

1. If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
2. In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
3. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl with the marinade. Toss the shrimp until they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 15-30 minutes in the refrigerator.
4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
5. Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each shrimp.
6. Place the shrimp skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are opaque and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook them, as shrimp can become tough if cooked for too long.
7. Once the shrimp are cooked through, remove them from the grill and serve immediately.
8. Garnish with additional lemon slices and chopped parsley, if desired.
