Instructions
Creating your Grilled Lemon Herb Shrimp Skewers is a straightforward process that can lead to amazing results. Follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
2. Marinate Shrimp: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, parsley, cilantro, salt, and pepper.
3. Add Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat them evenly. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator).
4. Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
5. Thread Shrimp: Once marinated, thread the shrimp onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each shrimp for even cooking.
6. Grill Shrimp: Place the skewers on the hot grill. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through.
7. Remove from Grill: Carefully remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
8. Garnish and Serve: Optionally, garnish with extra chopped herbs or a sprinkle of lemon juice before serving.
