Ingredients

(Serves 4)

  • 1 pound organic shrimp (peeled and deveined, tails on or off)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional, for color)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Shrimp

  • Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
  • Place the shrimp in a large mixing bowl.

2. Make the Marinade

  • In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika (if using), and salt.

3. Marinate the Shrimp

  • Pour the marinade over the shrimp and toss until evenly coated.
  • Cover the bowl and let the shrimp marinate in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes. Do not marinate for too long to prevent the shrimp from becoming mushy.

4. Preheat the Grill

  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (375°F-400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

5. Grill the Shrimp

  • Thread the shrimp onto skewers for easy grilling (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes beforehand).
  • Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Avoid overcooking to keep the shrimp tender and juicy.

6. Garnish and Serve

  • Transfer the grilled shrimp to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Tips

  • Shrimp Size: Large shrimp (16-20 count per pound) work best for grilling.
  • Lemon Pepper: For a stronger lemon flavor, add more zest or squeeze additional lemon juice after grilling.
  • Add Spice: Sprinkle with red chili flakes if you prefer a spicy kick.
  • Pairings: Serve with rice pilaf, grilled vegetables, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.

This Lemon Pepper Organic Grilled Shrimp is a versatile and crowd-pleasing dish perfect for outdoor grilling or a quick weeknight dinner. 🍤🍋🔥
