Follow The Directions

01

Step
20 mins

In a food processor, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, parsley, basil, garlic salt, and black pepper. Process until the marinade is smooth and well combined (approximately 20 seconds).

02

Step
30 mins

Transfer the marinade to a resealable plastic bag. Add the shrimp, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

03

Step
5 mins

While the shrimp marinates, preheat an outdoor grill to high heat and lightly oil the grill grate.

04

Step
1 mins

Remove the shrimp from the marinade and thread them onto the soaked wooden skewers, using 5-6 shrimp per skewer.

05

Step
6 mins

Grill the shrimp skewers over high heat until the shrimp turn bright pink and are opaque throughout, approximately 3 minutes per side. Ensure not to overcook.

Do not marinate the shrimp for longer than 30 minutes, as the lemon juice can cause them to become mushy.
Soaking the wooden skewers prevents them from burning on the grill.
For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
Serve immediately after grilling for the best flavor and texture.
