Grilled Marinated Shrimp
This shrimp marinade made with lemon juice, parsley, and other simple ingredients makes the best grilled shrimp. I grill the shrimp on skewers for an easy summer meal on top of salad or pasta!

Description
-
Gather all ingredients.
-
Whisk olive oil, parsley, lemon juice, hot pepper sauce, garlic, tomato paste, oregano, salt, and black pepper together in a mixing bowl. Reserve a small amount for basting later.
-
Pour remaining marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add shrimp, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate shrimp in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
-
Preheat a grill to medium-low heat. Thread shrimp onto skewers, piercing once near the tail and once near the head. Discard any remaining marinade.
-
Lightly oil the grill grate. Cook shrimp until opaque, about 5 minutes per side, basting frequently with reserved marinade.

Enjoy!
