Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp and Marinade

  • 1 1/2 pounds Jumbo shrimp (16/20 size, peeled and deveined)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)

For Serving

  • Lemon wedges for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, dried oregano, paprika, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper if using. This mixture will infuse the shrimp with bright, savory flavors.
  2. Marinate the Shrimp: Add the peeled and deveined jumbo shrimp to the marinade and toss thoroughly to ensure every piece is coated. Cover the bowl and let the shrimp marinate at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes. This brief marination tenderizes the shrimp while absorbing the rich flavors.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Proper preheating is key to achieving a nice sear and a slightly charred exterior on the shrimp.
  4. Skewer the Shrimp: Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers. This makes grilling easier and helps the shrimp cook evenly without falling through the grates.
  5. Grill the Shrimp: Place the shrimp skewers on the hot grill and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until the shrimp turn pink and develop a slight char. If desired, brush the shrimp with leftover marinade during grilling to boost flavor and moisture.
  6. Serve: Remove the shrimp from the grill and serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges on the side for an added citrusy zing. Pair with your favorite sides for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Use medium-high heat to avoid overcooking the shrimp, which can make them tough.
  • Marinating shrimp for longer than 15 minutes is not recommended as the acid in the lemon juice can start to ‘cook’ the shrimp.
  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  • Leftover marinade should not be consumed unless boiled first to kill any bacteria from raw shrimp.
  • For a spicier kick, increase the crushed red pepper or add a dash of cayenne pepper.
