Making Lemon-Herb Grilled Shrimp Skewers is as easy as pie if you follow these clear steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
2. Marinate the Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to let the flavors meld.
3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, preheat it on the stovetop over medium-high heat.
4. Assemble Skewers: Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
5. Grill the Shrimp: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side or until the shrimp are opaque and slightly charred.
6. Remove from Heat: Once cooked, carefully remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
7. Garnish: For added flavor, drizzle with extra lemon juice and sprinkle with fresh herbs before serving.
