Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1 red onion, cut into chunks
  • Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Instructions

Step 1:

  • In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.

Step 2:

  • Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl and toss until evenly coated. Let marinate for 10-15 minutes.

Step 3:

  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  • Thread the marinated shrimp onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating with lemon slices, red bell pepper chunks, yellow bell pepper chunks, and red onion chunks.
  • Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the vegetables are tender and lightly charred.

Step 4:

  • Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and serve immediately.
  • Optionally, garnish with fresh chopped parsley or cilantro for added flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure the wooden skewers are soaked in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning. You may also opt not to use skewers.
  • Feel free to customize the marinade with your favorite herbs and spices for added flavor.
  • Serve the grilled shrimp skewers with a side of quinoa or brown rice for a complete and nutritious meal.
