  • 20 Shrimp large, peeled
  • 3 tbsp olive oil extra virgin

  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper
  • ½ tsp celery salt
  • 2 tbsp parsley fresh

Shrimp

  • Soak 4 wooden skewers in water.
  • Preheat grill on high, and spray with cooking oil
  • Blot shrimp dry with paper towel
  • In a medium bowl whisk together oil, juice and zest of one of the lemons, garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, and celery salt.
  • Add shrimp and toss to coat. Allow to marinate 5 minutes

Notes

When threading shrimp, space them tightly together. This will mean less surface area so the shrimp will stay juicy and tender.
