Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound peeled and de-veined shrimp
  • 3 cloves garlic grated or finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley plus extra for garnishing
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

    Mixing Marinade
  • Add shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat evenly.
