Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined (you can either leave tails on or remove them))
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
lemon wedges for serving

Steps:

Place the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning and garlic in a resealable plastic bag. Seal and shake to combine.
Add the shrimp to the bag and seal. Toss to coat evenly with the marinade.
Marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours. You don't want to marinate for longer than that, as the acid in the lemon juice will start to cook the shrimp.
Thread the shrimp onto skewers. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium high heat.
Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until shrimp are pink and opaque.
Broiler directions: Preheat the broiler. Place the shrimp skewers on a sheet pan coated with cooking spray. Broil for 2-3 minutes on each side or until shrimp are pink and opaque.
Sprinkle with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup unsalted butter (or 8 Tbsp)
4 cloves of garlic (pressed or minced)
1 Tbsp cajun spice (provides light heat; it's not too spicy)
1/2 tsp salt (omit if using salted butter)
1 Tbsp lemon juice (from 1/2 medium lemon)
2 lbs uncooked large shrimp (21-25 count, peeled and deveined)
12 medium wooden skewers

Steps:

Soak wooden skewers in water 30 min (reduces burning of the sticks). Preheat Grill to med/high (400˚F).
Combine all marinade ingredients in a small sauce pan. Bring to a simmer then remove from heat. Pour half of the mixture into a ramekin and leave remaining marinade in pan (You'll brush on half now and brush on remaining marinade after shrimp are grilled).
Skewer 4 shrimp on each damp skewer without leaving spaces. Lay skewers flat on a rimmed cookie sheet. Brush one side of the skewered shrimp with sauce and refrigerate for 2 min until butter firms up. Flip shrimp over, brush second side and refrigerate 2 min until butter firms up.
Place skewers on the barbie and grill shrimp with the lid on about 2 minutes per side or just until cooked through and no longer transparent. Remove shrimp from grill. Don't overcook or they will be rubbery. Brush on reserved sauce and serve.
