A delightful recipe for grilled shrimp skewers marinated in a flavorful garlic herb mixture, perfect for a quick and delicious meal.
Prepare the wooden skewers by soaking them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Soaking the skewers ensures they don't catch fire on the grill.
In a large zippered plastic bag, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the marinade thoroughly to evenly distribute the flavors.
Add the shrimp to the bag, seal it, and gently massage the marinade into the shrimp. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Marinating for longer enhances the flavor absorption.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Ensure the grill is clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Thread the marinated shrimp onto the soaked skewers.
Leave a small gap between each shrimp for even cooking.
Grill the shrimp skewers for 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
Avoid overcooking the shrimp to keep them tender and juicy.
Serve the grilled shrimp skewers hot with a side of garlic butter dipping sauce.
Garnish with additional fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
