Grilled Shrimp Skewers

I first made these grilled shrimp skewers when we were having a potluck barbecue at our marina. The marinade and food prep is very easy. Also, the combination of Italian seasoning with garlic and lemon makes this a refreshing treat. Enjoy!

 1-pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined (optional to leave or take off the tails)
 ½ cup olive oil
 4 tablespoons lemon juice (about the juice of 1 lemon)
 2 teaspoons salt
 ½ teaspoon pepper
 4 cloves garlic, minced
 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
 Lemon wedges

In a glass bowl, blend the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, garlic and Italian seasoning.

There are 2 ways you can marinade the shrimp. The first is to pour the marinade into the baggie with the shrimp. Seal and coat the shrimp well.

4

The second is to skewer the shrimp and then brush the marinade on both sides. Either way, refrigerate for at least 15 minutes but no more than 2 hours.*

*You don’t want to marinade the shrimp in the acid for too long or the lemon juice will start to cook the shrimp.

Grill for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with lemon wedges. Serves 4.
