A vibrant and flavorful marinated grilled shrimp dish that’s perfect for any gathering or occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined, tails on or off)
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley (for garnish)
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Make the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, honey, garlic, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Marinate the Shrimp: Place the shrimp in a large zip-top bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the shrimp. Seal or cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 1 hour.
- Preheat Grill: While the shrimp marinate, heat your grill (or grill pan) to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Grill the Shrimp: If you prefer, thread the shrimp onto skewers. Grill shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque.
- Serve: Once beautifully grilled, sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges to squeeze over the top.
Notes
Make sure to not over-marinade shrimp as the acid can toughen them. Ideal for barbecue and easy to customize with spices.
