Instructions

3. Mix melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

5. Brush the shrimp skewers generously with the garlic butter mixture.

Notes

Use large shrimp (16/20 count) for the best texture on skewers.

Don’t overcook the shrimp – they finish cooking quickly on the grill.

Metal skewers work best but soak wooden ones to prevent burning.
