Ingredients
Shrimp and Marinade
- 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh basil, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, chopped parsley, chopped basil, fresh lemon juice, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Mix everything together well.
- Toss your shrimp into the bowl. Make sure every piece is well-coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Grilling
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- If you want to make your shrimp easier to handle, thread them onto skewers. If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes beforehand.
- Grill the shrimp on each side for about 2-3 minutes until they are pink and opaque. Avoid overcooking.
Serving
- Once grilled, remove the shrimp from the grill and transfer them to a plate. Serve hot.
- Pair with a light salad or grilled vegetables.
Notes
For an extra flavor kick, add fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme. You may also add red pepper flakes or a splash of white wine to the marinade if desired.
