Garlic Shrimp Kabobs

Garlic Shrimp Kabobs feature juicy shrimp soaked in a lemon-garlic and herb marinade, then quickly kissed by the grill for smoky, bright flavor. Each skewer delivers tender, garlicky bites with fresh parsley and a citrus lift—great for weeknight dinners or warm-weather cookouts. Serve hot off the grill with extra lemon for a fresh finish.

Garlic Shrimp Kabobs
  1. 1

    Gather all ingredients.

  2. 2

    Whisk olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, pepper, and parsley together in a bowl.

  3. 3

    Pour the mixture into a large resealable plastic bag. Add shrimp, coat them with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

  4. 4

    Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Lightly spray metal skewers with cooking spray.

  5. 5

    Remove the shrimp from the marinade and shake off any excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Thread about 5 shrimp onto each skewer.

  6. 6

    Grill on the preheated grill until the shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, about 5 minutes; do not overcook.

  7. 7

    Serve with lemon wedges, if desired, and enjoy!
