Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together ¼ cup of extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice, 3 cloves of minced garlic, and 2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh parsley. Add 1 teaspoon each of dried oregano, fine sea salt, smoked paprika, freshly ground black pepper, and optional crushed red pepper flakes. Mix until well combined for a zesty marinade.
  2. Place 1 pound of peeled and deveined jumbo shrimp into the bowl with the marinade, ensuring each piece is fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F). Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly greased.
  4. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and, if desired, thread them onto skewers for easier handling. Place the shrimp directly onto the preheated grill and cook them for 2-3 minutes on each side.
  5. Once cooked, transfer the grilled shrimp to a serving platter, garnishing with lemon wedges and extra parsley. Serve immediately.
