Grilled Lemon Pepper Shrimp Kabobs

The first day of summer has come and gone and grilling season is in full swing! One of the joys of summer –  grilling – makes the sometimes mundane task of cooking an enjoyable task, for which we are grateful. These Grilled Lemon Pepper Shrimp Kabobs are not only beautiful but very appetizing and juicy. They are perfect for a quick dinner.

I usually grill them shortly after flavoring the shrimp, but I’ve wondered what the differences are when imarinated for a while. If you’ve done so, I’d love to hear your experience on that. Are they even more flavorful? This recipe is easy and quick to prepare with a great turnout. Rinse, sprinkle spices, skewer it, grill and enjoy! 🙂

Ingredients:

2 lbs. – raw large shrimp

1 tbsp. – lemon pepper seasoning
1 tsp. – sea salt
¼ tsp. black ground pepper
¼ cup – olive oil
2 – large lemons

Instructions:

1. Soak wooden skewers in water for 15 min before skewering shrimp.

Place frozen shrimp into a bowl of cold water to thaw.

Rinse shrimp a few times in cold water. Let the water drain. Drizzle shrimp with olive oil and then sprinkle the measured out seasonings. Mix together until shrimp is well coated with olive oil and seasoning.

2. Cut a lemon in half and then into thin slices.

3. Thread shrimp and lemon onto 2 wet skewers.

4. Place skewers onto preheated grill. Grill on low for about 8 minutes.

5. Turn skewers over and grill for another 7-8 minutes.

6. Finally, transfer grilled shrimp on a platter and serve right away.
