Lemon Garlic Shrimp Skewers
Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 pinch finely chopped parsley
  • 1 pound frozen shrimp, thawed and peeled
  • metal skewers
  • cooking spray
Instructions
1
Gather all necessary components.
2
Combine olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, pepper, and parsley in a bowl using a whisk.
3
Place the resulting mixture into a large resealable plastic bag. Add shrimp and coat them evenly with the marinade, ensuring no air pockets remain. Seal the bag tightly.
4
Store the bag in the refrigerator for 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
5
Preheat an outdoor grill to a medium heat level and lightly spray the grate with oil.
6
Coat metal skewers with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
7
Remove shrimp from the marinade and gently shake off any remaining liquid. Discard the leftover marinade.
8
Place approximately 5 shrimp on each metal skewer.
9
Cook the shrimp on the preheated grill for about 5 minutes, or until they turn bright pink and the meat becomes opaque.
10
Avoid overcooking the shrimp to preserve their tenderness.

Serve with lemon wedges, if desired, and indulge in your delicious creation!
