Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

1 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon oregano
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Chopped parsley for serving
Lemon slices for serving

Mixing Bowl Set
Nonstick Square Grill Pan

Method

Place the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, oregano, paprika and garlic powder in a large bowl; whisk to combine.
Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss gently to coat evenly with the marinade. Marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours max.
Skewer 4-6 shrimp on each soaked skewer and place on a plate while skewering the remaining shrimp.
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium high heat and cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until the color is pink and shrimp is opaque.
Serve warm with fresh parsley and lemon slices, if desired.

Notes

Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last up to 3 days in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave or in a skillet with a little olive oil.

Make Ahead Tips: You can marinate the shrimp in advance but be careful not to do it for more than 2 hours because the acid from the lemon will end up cooking the shrimp. You can mix the marinade up to 5 days in advance though.
