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:
- If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
- In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- 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.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each shrimp.
- 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.
- Once the shrimp are cooked through, remove them from the grill and serve immediately.
- Garnish with additional lemon slices and chopped parsley, if desired.
