Description
Garlic shrimp skewers are delicious and full of fresh flavor. These quick and easy kabobs can be grilled, baked or air fried for an easy summer dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. large white shrimp (about 24 pcs), peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine shrimp with oil, garlic, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to evenly coat. Set aside for 15-20 minutes to marinate. You can also marinate the shrimp with seasoning in a sealable Ziploc bag.
- Thread the marinated shrimp onto bamboo skewers, adding 4-5 shrimp to each.
- Lightly brush oil over the grill pan. Preheat the grill over medium high heat for 3 minutes until the oil starts sizzling and shimmering. Place the skewers evenly apart on the grill pan and grill for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the shrimp turn orange and completely opaque. (You can also bake shrimp or air fry the shrimp at 375F for 12-15 minutes).
- Drizzle with extra lemon juice or olive oil if desired and serve.
Notes
How to store: Keep leftover garlic shrimp in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Don’t let them sit out for over 2 two hours at room temperature (or more than an hour if it’s a hot day).
How to reheat: Reheat shrimp skewers in a 350-400F oven for 5-15 minutes until warmed through (the hotter the oven, the faster it will cook through). You can also remove them from the skewers and reheat in the air fryer at 350 F for 5 minutes. I would not recommend microwaving seafood, including shrimp, because it makes the meat rubbery and tough.
