Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Marinated Shrimp Skewers.
Step 1
Start by grabbing a mixing bowl and whisk together some olive oil, freshly chopped parsley, zesty lemon juice, a splash of hot pepper sauce, minced garlic, rich tomato paste, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until everything is beautifully blended.
Step 2
Set aside a small portion of this vibrant marinade for basting later.
Step 3
Next, pour the rest of the marinade into a large resealable plastic bag and add your shrimp, making sure they’re thoroughly coated in that delicious mixture.
Step 4
Squeeze out any extra air, seal the bag tight, and let those flavors mingle in the refrigerator for about two hours.
Step 5
While the shrimp are soaking up all that goodness, preheat your grill to a medium-low heat.
Step 6
Once ready, thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers, piercing each one near the tail and head for a secure hold.
Step 7
Remember to toss out the used marinade; it’s done its job! To keep your shrimp from sticking, lightly oil the grill grate.
Step 8
Now, place the skewers on the grill and let them cook for around five minutes on each side, or until they turn a lovely opaque color and are cooked through.
Step 9
Don’t forget to baste them frequently with the reserved marinade for that extra burst of flavor.
Step 10
Enjoy the delightful aroma as your shrimp sizzle away, and get ready for a delicious meal that’s sure to impress!.
