Ingredients

  • 1 pound of large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon of paprika
  • 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon of black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1 green bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1 red onion, cut into chunks
  • Metal or wooden skewers

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, salt, and lemon juice to make the marinade.
  2. Place the peeled and deveined shrimp in a large bowl and pour the marinade over them. Toss well to coat the shrimp evenly. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  3. While the shrimp is marinating, soak the wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
  4. Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
  5. Thread the marinated shrimp, bell peppers, and red onion onto the skewers, alternating between them.
  6. Place the shrimp kabobs on the preheated grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turns pink and opaque.
  7. Remove the shrimp kabobs from the grill and serve hot. Enjoy!
