Instructions

1. Make the marinade first in a large bowl: combine the olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, paprika, oregano, salt, pepper, chili flakes and parsley. Set aside a few tablespoons in a separate bowl for brushing later.
2. If using frozen shrimp, thaw completely and pat very dry with paper towels.
3. Add the raw shrimp to the large bowl and toss until evenly coated. Marinate for 15–20 minutes.
4. Thread the shrimp onto skewers. If you like, add red onion, zucchini or pineapple chunks between the shrimp.
5. Grilling: preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Grill the skewers 2–3 minutes per side, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque with light char marks. Take off the grill and brush right away with the reserved marinade.
6. Shrimp are done when they form a loose C shape; a tight O shape means overcooked.
7. Oven option: preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F). Place the skewers on a parchment-lined baking sheet or wire rack and bake 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway if you like.
8. For extra color, broil 1–2 minutes at the end. Remove from the oven and brush right away with the reserved marinade.
9. Serve immediately.
