Description
Lemon Garlic Shrimp is a flavorful seafood dish that combines shrimp with a tangy lemon and garlic marinade.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb. shrimp, uncooked
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 2 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon parsley, fresh & finely diced
Instructions
- Soak your skewers in water (for about 1.5 hours) prior to grilling if desired.
- If the shell is still on the shrimp, carefully peel it away and rinse under cold water. Pat dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the marinade ingredients. Pour into a thick freezer bag and add the shrimp.
- Marinade the shrimp for 20-30 minutes.
- Heat the grill to high. Place the skewers on the grill rack and cook for about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Remove from the grill and serve, peeling away the shell prior to eating.
Notes
- To bake these shrimp, preheat the oven to 450°. Spray a baking sheet lightly with nonstick cooking spray and bake for 5-7 minutes.
- For a frying pan method, add oil to a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp (without the skewers) and cook for about 1 minute + 30 seconds per side.
