Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (sub avocado oil)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- ½ teaspoon soy sauce (sub tamari for gluten-free)
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano leaves
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 pound jumbo shrimp (deveined and shelled, ensure thawed if previously frozen)
Instructions
- Prep: Ensure grill grates are clean and preheat grill to medium-high heat (Approx. 400-450℉).
- Marinate Shrimp: In a large bowl, add 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 teaspoons garlic, 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning, ½ teaspoon soy sauce, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon dried oregano leaves, and ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper. Whisk to combine. Toss 1 pound jumbo shrimp in the bowl with the marinade. Let marinate for 20-30 minutes.
- Skewer Shrimp: Taking a metal skewer, pierce the shrimp through the tail and then again through the thickest part and slide all the way to the bottom. Continue until all the shrimp are used.
- Grill: Place over direct heat and close lid. Let cook 2 minutes. Flip and close lid again. Let cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Shrimp is done cooking when the meat is no longer translucent.
- Rest + Serve: Remove from grill and let rest 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Leaving tails on is optional. If using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them for 30 minutes before grilling to reduce charring. The marinade is optional; salt and pepper alone also work well.
