Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

Marinade:

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for extra spice)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried parsley

Additional:

  • Skewers (wooden or metal)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Marinade
    In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the olive oil, melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, onion powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, salt, oregano, and parsley. This marinade is what gives the shrimp its bold, zesty flavor.
  2. Step 2: Marinate the Shrimp
    Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl with the marinade. Toss gently to ensure each shrimp is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15-20 minutes. If you have time, letting the shrimp marinate for up to an hour will enhance the flavor even more.
  3. Step 3: Prepare the Skewers
    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 20 minutes to prevent burning on the grill. Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers, ensuring even spacing for even cooking.
  4. Step 4: Preheat the Grill
    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (375-400°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking. If using an indoor grill pan or broiler, adjust settings accordingly.
  5. Step 5: Grill the Shrimp
    Place the shrimp skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and slightly opaque. Avoid overcooking.
  6. Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
    Brush the grilled shrimp with melted butter, serve hot with lemon wedges, rice, or a fresh salad.

Notes

  • For added flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of fresh herbs like chopped cilantro or a squeeze of additional lemon juice before serving.
  • Adjust the spice level by increasing or decreasing the amount of cayenne pepper to suit your taste preferences.
