For best results, use fresh, high-quality shrimp. If using frozen shrimp, ensure they are fully thawed before marinating. Do not over-marinate the shrimp, as the lemon juice can start to 'cook' the shrimp and affect its texture. To prevent sticking, soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling. Serve these kabobs with a side of rice, quinoa, or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end is a welcome addition.

Step
5 mins
Gather all ingredients and prepare your workspace. (5 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, pepper, and parsley until well combined. This creates a fragrant and flavorful marinade. (5 minutes)
03
Step
2 hrs
Place the shrimp in a large resealable plastic bag or a non-reactive dish. Pour the garlic marinade over the shrimp, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to 4 hours for a more intense flavor. (2 hours)
04
Step
5 mins
Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat (about 350-400°F). Clean the grill grates thoroughly and lightly oil them with cooking spray or a brush of olive oil to prevent sticking. (10 minutes)
05
Step
10 mins
Remove the shrimp from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the used marinade. Thread the shrimp onto the metal skewers, using about 5 shrimp per skewer. (10 minutes)
06
Step
5 mins
Place the shrimp kabobs on the preheated grill and cook for approximately 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn bright pink and the meat is opaque. Be careful not to overcook, as shrimp can become rubbery. (5 minutes)

Remove the Garlic Shrimp Kabobs from the grill and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges, if desired. Enjoy! (2 minutes)
