How to Make Garlic Herb Shrimp

• Prepare the grill for medium (350-450 degrees) direct heat.

Tips for regulating medium heat on your grill.

• To accurately gauge medium-high heat on a charcoal grill, use a grill thermometer or leave the bottom vent fully open and the top vent on the lid open.
• To adjust the temperature of a charcoal grill, use the top vent.

• In a small bowl mix olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic, and parsley. Add shrimp.

• Cover and place in the fridge for at least 10 minutes but no more than an hour.

• Place shrimp on skewers for grilling.

• Once the shrimp are skewered cook them for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side with the BBQ lid closed. You want to make sure you do not overcook the shrimp. If you do they will become rubbery. The shrimp should be white and opaque when it is done.

• Once cooked remove from the grill and top with more fresh parsley or lemon if desired.

Tips Tricks and FAQs

• If you are using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them for at least 20 minutes in water prior to skwering your shimp to prevent burning.
• This lemon garlic herb grilled shrimp is perfect served over rice, noodles or greens! Serve with summer green veggies or a fresh garden salad.
• Be sure you wash your shrimp properly. Run them under water and be sure to devain them (remove the gray / black vein on the backside of the shrimp)
