Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.

  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  5. Thread the marinated shrimp onto the prepared skewers, discarding any excess marinade.
  6. Grill the shrimp skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
  7. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can add other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini to the skewers.
  • For extra flavor, grill lemon halves and squeeze the juice over the shrimp before serving.
