Ingredients

• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 whole lemon, juiced
• 4 large garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 pieces lemon wedges, for serving

Directions

Step 1

Place the shrimp in a medium-sized bowl and set aside.

Step 2

In a separate small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the shrimp and toss to ensure all the shrimp are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 4

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Thread the shrimp onto skewers, making sure to puncture both the head and tail of each shrimp to secure it on the skewers.

Step 6

Once the grill is hot, lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the skewers on the grill.

Step 7

Grill the shrimp for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until they are pink, opaque, and have a slight char. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become rubbery.

Step 8

Remove the shrimp from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.

Step 9

Garnish with additional parsley and lemon wedges, serving alongside your favorite sides or over a fresh salad.

Step 10

Enjoy your perfectly grilled garlic-lemon shrimps with a zesty kick!
