Ingredients

• 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 medium Yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 medium Zucchini, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
• 1 medium Red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 10 pieces Wooden skewers, soaked in water

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 2

Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.

Step 3

While the shrimp is marinating, prepare the vegetables by cutting them into bite-sized pieces.

Step 4

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, around 375°F (190°C).

Step 5

Thread the shrimp, bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion alternately onto the soaked wooden skewers. Leave a small gap between each piece for even cooking.

Step 6

Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the kabobs onto the preheated grill.

Step 7

Grill the kabobs for 2-3 minutes per side, or until shrimp are opaque and cooked through, and the vegetables have a slight char.

Step 8

Remove the kabobs from the grill and serve immediately, garnished with additional lemon wedges if desired.
