Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 small zucchini, sliced into thick rounds

Instructions:

  1. Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Note: Whisking well ensures the oil and lemon don't separate.
  2. Toss in the raw shrimp and chopped vegetables. Stir gently until every piece is coated in the marinade.
  3. Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes. This is when the Mediterranean Shrimp Marinade penetrates the shrimp.
  4. Slide ingredients onto skewers. Alternate shrimp, red pepper, onion, and zucchini. Leave a tiny gap between each item.
  5. Heat your grill or grill pan to medium high.
  6. Place the Mediterranean Shrimp Kabobs on the grill.
  7. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until the shrimp turn opaque and curl into a loose 'C' shape.
  8. Remove from heat immediately and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
