Now that you have your ingredients ready, it’s time to get grilling! Follow these simple steps to create mouthwatering Grilled Harissa Shrimp:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine Harissa paste, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
2. Marinate the Shrimp: Add the cleaned shrimp to the marinade. Ensure all the shrimp are coated well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
4. Skewer the Shrimp: Thread marinated shrimp onto skewers, leaving some space between each piece for even cooking. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to grilling to avoid burning.
5. Grill the Shrimp: Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp are opaque and slightly charred. Be cautious not to overcook them!
6. Serve Immediately: Once grilled to perfection, remove the skewers from the grill. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
