Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 lb. Shrimp peeled and deveined, tail on, large
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • lemon juice about 3 Tablespoons of juice, juice from 1 lemon
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground pepper or cracked pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt sea salt

Instructions

  1. Mix garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, oil, salt and pepper in a medium mixing bowl.
  2. Add shrimp and toss to combine. Let shrimp marinate for about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  3. Thread shrimp on metal or soaked wooden skewers and discard marinade.
  4. Fire up your grill with heat set to medium-high. Place shrimp skewers on grill and cook until pink and opaque, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove from grill and serve hot with lemon wedges to squeeze over shrimp, if desired.

Notes

  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning. 
  • To make in the oven: Preheat your oven broiler to high and coat a sheet pan with cooking spray. Place the skewers on the baking sheet in a single layer and broil for about 4-6 minutes, flipping halfway. Keep an eye on the cooking time as it may vary slightly.
  • To store leftovers: Remove any shrimp from the skewers and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
