Steps:
- Combine olive oil, Italian seasoning, paprika, lemon rind, salt, pepper, and garlic.
- Add shrimp and toss to coat.
- Thread the shrimp onto 4 skewers.
- The original recipe calls for broiling these on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray (2 minutes on each side), however, I prefer to grill them over medium heat until they turn pink (2 to 4 minutes per side).
- Remove the shrimp from the skewers and arrange over the hot pasta.
- Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with parsley.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh shrimp that are deveined and peeled.
- If you don't have fresh shrimp, you can use frozen shrimp that have been thawed and patted dry.
- Be sure to use a large skillet or sauté pan so that the shrimp have plenty of room to cook.
- Don't overcrowd the pan, or the shrimp will steam instead of sear.
- Cook the shrimp over medium-high heat so that they get a nice sear.
- Don't overcook the shrimp, or they will become tough.
- Add the lemon juice and garlic towards the end of cooking so that they don't burn.
- Serve the shrimp immediately with your favorite sides, such as rice, pasta, or vegetables.
Conclusion:
Shrimp with garlic and lemon is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to impress your guests at a dinner party. The combination of shrimp, garlic, and lemon is a classic for a reason. The shrimp are cooked to perfection and the garlic and lemon add a delicious flavor.
