Mediterranean Diet Shrimp
Garlic, lemon, lime, olive oil, and parsley make for a delicious marinade
Equipment
- 1 Grill
- 2 bowls
- 1 tray
Ingredients
- 6 Shish Kebab Skewers Give or take a few
- 1 lb large or jumbo shrimp raw, shelled or unshelled
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ⅛ cup lemon juice
- ⅛ cup lime juice
- 1 Tbsp dried parsley
- 2 Tbsp minced garlic
Instructions
- Prepare the wooden skewers. I can get 7-8 large shrimps on a 1ft shish kebab skewer. Take out as many skewers as you need, and set them out in a tray of water for at least 20 minutes
- Next, thaw and shell your shrimps. I recommend using large or jumbo size shrimps for this meal. Thaw the shrimp in a bowl of cold tap water for 20 minutes, then pull off the shell up to the tail and discard.
- Add the olive oil, parsley, salt, pepper, lemon juice, lime juice, and minced garlic to a bowl and mix. Add the shrimp, cover the bowl, and gently shake to coat the shrimp with marinade. Let the shrimps marinate for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Skewer the shrimp on the shish kebabs, and preheat your grill to 400F. Grill with the lid closed for 3-5 minutes, until the tops of the shrimp are white. Flip the shrimp and grill for 2-3 minutes more, until they have the amount of browning you desire.
