Description
Garlic Shrimp Skewers are marinated with garlic, lemon, and herbs, then grilled until tender and juicy. A quick and easy summer dinner ready in 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 pound large white shrimp (about 24 pieces), 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.
- Drizzle with extra lemon juice or olive oil if desired and serve.
Notes
How to bake in the oven: Bake at 400°F for 8 to 10 minutes, until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and cooked through.
How to air fry: Air fry at 375°F for 6 to 8 minutes, flipping halfway through.
How to store: Store leftover garlic shrimp skewers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. I recommend removing the shrimp from the skewers before storing to make them easier to reheat.
How to reheat: Reheat the shrimp gently in a skillet over medium-low heat for 2 to 3 minutes or in a 300°F oven until warmed through. You can also reheat them in the air fryer at 350°F for 2 to 3 minutes. Avoid overheating the shrimp or they can become rubbery.
