A delightful and easy-to-make dish featuring shrimp marinated in a citrus-herb blend, perfect for grilling.
In a medium bowl, combine the juice of the lemon, olive oil, minced garlic, and smoked paprika.
Whisk the marinade thoroughly to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat evenly.
Let the shrimp marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator for maximum flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
Ensure the grill is hot before placing the skewers to prevent sticking.
Thread the shrimp onto skewers, about 4 shrimp per skewer.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning.
Grill the skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
Avoid overcooking the shrimp as they can become rubbery.
Remove the skewers from the grill and sprinkle with fresh basil leaves before serving.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
