Grilled Shrimp Skewers with Garlic Butter

Ingredients

• 1 pound shrimp
• 1 stick butter
• 4 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 4 pieces lemon wedges

Instructions

1. 1

   In a small saucepan, melt 1 stick of butter over low heat. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

2. 2

   Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well to combine.

3. 3

   Place 1 pound of peeled and deveined shrimp in a large bowl. Pour the garlic butter mixture over the shrimp and toss to coat evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

4. 4

   While the shrimp is marinating, soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.

5. 5

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).

6. 6

   Thread the marinated shrimp onto the soaked skewers, about 4-5 shrimp per skewer.

7. 7

   Brush the grill grates with 2 tablespoons of olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the shrimp skewers on the grill.

8. 8

   Grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook.

9. 9

   Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.

10. 10

    Serve the grilled shrimp skewers with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
