Creating Grilled Garlic Lemon Shrimp Skewers is simple if you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, lemon zest, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
2. Marinate the Shrimp: Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Prepare the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
4. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat.
5. Assemble the Skewers: Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers. You can alternate with vegetables if desired.
6. Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
7. Remove from Grill: Carefully take the skewers off the grill and place them on a serving platter.
8. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for added flavor and presentation.
