Ingredients

– 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 1 bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
– 1 zucchini, sliced into rounds
– 1 red onion, cut into wedges
– ¼ cup olive oil
– 3 tablespoons lemon juice
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ¼ teaspoon black pepper
– Skewers (wooden or metal)


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your own Grilled Shrimp Kabobs:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper.

2. Marinate Shrimp: Add shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 1 hour.

3. Prepare the Vegetables: While the shrimp marinates, chop your vegetables into uniform pieces.

4. Soak Skewers (if using wooden skewers): If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.

5. Assemble Kabobs: Thread the marinated shrimp and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between shrimp and vegetables for a colorful presentation.

6. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

7. Grill Kabobs: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the shrimp are opaque and lightly charred.

8. Check Doneness: Ensure the shrimp are cooked properly. They should have lost their translucent quality and appear pinkish-white.

9. Rest: Once cooked, remove from the grill and let the kabobs rest for a few minutes.

10. Serve: Place the skewers on a platter and garnish with fresh herbs or lemon wedges if desired.

With these steps, you can create an impressive dish that delights everyone at your table!
