Recipe View 6 mins Lightly oil the grill grate with cooking oil to prevent sticking. Grill the shrimp skewers for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn opaque and are cooked through. Avoid overcooking to maintain their tenderness. (Cook time: 4-6 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the marinade.
If you don't have skewers, you can grill the shrimp directly on the grates, but be sure to keep a close eye on them to prevent them from falling through.
This recipe also works beautifully with scallops or chunks of firm white fish. Adjust the cooking time accordingly.
Serve immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and a lemon wedge for squeezing.
