Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds large shrimp 16-20 count, peeled and deveined
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 8-10 wooden or metal skewers

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
  • Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss gently to coat. Let marinate for 15-20 minutes (not longer, as the acid from the lemon can start cooking the shrimp).
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375-400°F).
  • Thread the shrimp onto skewers, about 5-6 per skewer, making sure they're not too tightly packed.
  • Clean and oil your grill grates to prevent sticking.
  • Place skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until the shrimp turn pink and slightly charred.
