Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 bell peppers, cut into chunks
- 1 red onion, cut into chunks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
- In a large bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
- Add shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat. Let marinate for no more than 45 minutes.
- Thread shrimp, bell peppers, and onion chunks onto skewers, alternating ingredients.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill kabobs for 2-3 minutes per side until shrimp form a ‘C’ shape and turn opaque pink.
- Remove from grill and serve immediately.
Notes
- Don’t marinate shrimp for too long as the acid can start to cook the shrimp.
- Shrimp cook very quickly, so keep a close eye on them to avoid overcooking.
- If using an oven, broil on high for about 5-6 minutes, turning halfway through.
- If using a grill pan, cook over medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes per side.
