📝 Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lb large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for spiciness)
• Salt and black pepper (to taste)
• Wooden or metal skewers

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
2. 2In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, chopped parsley, smoked paprika, onion powder, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
3. 3Add the shrimp to the marinade, ensuring that each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
4. 4Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. While the grill is heating up, thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers, leaving a small space between each shrimp to ensure even cooking.
5. 5Place the shrimp skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
6. 6Remove the grilled shrimp skewers from the grill and let them rest for a minute or two before serving.
