Description

These grilled shrimp are seasoned with both fresh garlic and garlic salt. Don't marinate for longer than 30 minutes.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon minced fresh basil
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
2/15 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound extra large shrimp, peeled and deveined
6 wooden skewers

Directions

1 Combine oil, lemon juice, garlic cloves, parsley, basil, garlic, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor. Blend until marinade is smooth, about 20 seconds.
2 Pour marinade into a resealable gallon-sized plastic bag. Add shrimp to the bag and toss to coat with the marinade. Seal bag and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
3 Soak wooden skewers in cold water while shrimp is marinating.
4 Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
5 Remove shrimp from marinade and thread onto skewers, 5 to 6 shrimp per skewer. Cook the shrimp on the preheated grill until they are bright pink on the outside and no longer transparent in the center, about 3 minutes per side.
