These shrimp kabobs make a great weeknight dinner main dish. They can be on your table in about 30 minutes. Even people who aren't usually fans of shrimp will love them.
1 lb. large shrimp, peeled and deveined (with or without tails)
1/4 c. olive oil
2 T. lemon juice
3/4 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper
1 t. Italian seasoning
2 t. minced garlic
1 T. chopped parsley, for serving
lemon wedges, for serving
Place the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning and garlic in a large ziplock plastic bag; seal; shake to combine. Add shrimp; seal; shake to coat with the marinade.
Marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours. Don't marinate for longer than that, as the acid in the lemon juice will start to cook the shrimp.
To Grill: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium high heat.
Slide the shrimp onto skewers. Place the skewers on the grill. Cook 2-3 minutes per side or until shrimp are pink and opaque.
To Broil: Preheat the broiler. Place the shrimp skewers on a sheet pan coated with non-stick cooking spray. Broil for 2-3 minutes per side or until shrimp are pink and opaque.
Serve sprinkled with parsley and lemon wedges.
