Garlic grilled shrimp skewers are just mouthwatering. Jumbo shrimp are marinated in a delicious garlic herb mixture, then grilled to perfection in under 10 minutes. You can’t beat a recipe that’s easy to make yet fancy enough to serve at your next party.

If you’re going to throw shrimp on the barbie (yes, I just said that), better make it these garlic grilled shrimp skewers. They’re one of the easiest recipes you can make and loaded with bright, zesty flavor.

But be forewarned, these shrimp disappear blazingly fast. And once they’re gone, your family and friends will be begging you to make another batch.

Ingredients

1 pound large shrimp
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
pinch cayenne pepper, adjust to spice preference

Method

* Add the olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, garlic, and spices to a small mixing bowl and whisk together.

* Place the shrimp in a bowl and pour 3/4 of the marinade on top of the shrimp. Mix together gently until the shrimp are well coated.

* Cover the bowl and marinate the shrimp for 30 minutes to an hour.

* Thread the shrimp on the skewers and make sure to get all the good garlic and herbs from the bowl and spread on to the shrimp.

* Heat a grill or grill pan on medium high heat.

* Once the grill is hot, place the shrimp skewers on the grill and cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes each side, or until they turn pink and opaque.

* Remove the shrimp to a plate and spoon the remaining marinade on top before serving.
