Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb large shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • about 1 lemon or 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 6 wooden or metal skewers

Method
 

  1. If using wooden skewers, soak all 6 in water for 30 minutes.
  2. While the skewers soak, whisk the oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  3. During the final 10 minutes of the skewer soak, coat the shrimp with the marinade. Then divide the shrimp evenly among the skewers, about 4 per skewer.
  4. Grilling is usually done for 2-3 minutes per side until it is firm and turns pink. Take care to not overcook it.
  5. Serve hot off the grill and with extra wedges of lemon.
