- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions
- Marinate the Shrimp: In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes.
- Prepare the Grill: While the shrimp is marinating, prepare the vegetables and preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Thread the Skewers: Thread shrimp and vegetables onto skewers, alternating pieces for color and even cooking.
- Grill the Kebabs: Grill the kebabs for 2–3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the vegetables have grill marks and are tender-crisp.
- Serve: Remove from grill and serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley and lemon wedges.
Notes
- You can use other vegetables like mushrooms or cherry tomatoes.
- For extra flavor, brush leftover marinade on the kebabs while grilling.
- These are delicious over rice, couscous, or a fresh salad.
