Ingredients
- 24 pieces Jumbo shrimp (raw, peeled, and deveined)
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to make the marinade.
Step 2
Add the peeled and deveined jumbo shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour.
Step 3
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 4
Remove the shrimp from the marinade and thread them onto skewers, ensuring they are secure but not too tightly packed.
Step 5
Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are opaque and have a slight char. Be careful not to overcook, as shrimp can become tough.
Step 7
Remove the shrimp from the grill and serve hot, garnished with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
