Prep Time- 5 minutes

Marinade – 10 minutes

Cook Time- 8 minutes

Ingredients for Lemon Garlic Herb Grilled Shrimp

One pound large raw shrimp – peeled and deveined

¼ cup olive oil

1/2 a lemon – juiced

½ tsp salt

⅛ tsp pepper

½ tsp Italian seasoning

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 Tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Garnishes – extra fresh parsley, lemon wedges

Directions for Lemon Garlic Herb Grilled 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.

PRO TIP: If you are using wooden skewers, make sure you soak them for at least 10 minutes then they will not catch on fire.

Once the shrimp are skewered cook the lemon garlic herb shrimp 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.

This lemon garlic herb grilled shrimp is perfect served over rice, noodles or greens! Serve with summer green veggies or a fresh garden salad.

And there you have it! A perfectly simple summer dish the whole family will love!
