Grilled Marinated Shrimp

This shrimp marinade made with lemon juice, parsley, and other simple ingredients makes the best grilled shrimp. I grill the shrimp on skewers for an easy summer meal on top of salad or pasta!

Ingredients

1 cup olive oil
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt or to taste
1 teaspoon ground black pepper or to taste
2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined with tails attached
6 skewers

Directions

Gather all ingredients.
Whisk olive oil, parsley, lemon juice, hot pepper sauce, garlic, tomato paste, oregano, salt, and black pepper together in a mixing bowl. Reserve a small amount for basting later.
Pour remaining marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add shrimp, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate shrimp in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
Preheat a grill to medium-low heat. Thread shrimp onto skewers, piercing once near the tail and once near the head. Discard any remaining marinade.
Lightly oil the grill grate. Cook shrimp until opaque, about 5 minutes per side, basting frequently with reserved marinade.
Enjoy!
