Ingredients
Shrimp and Marinade
- 1 pound Raw Colossal Shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/4 cup Olive Oil
- 2 Lemons, zested and juiced
- 4 tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1 tbsp Sugar-Free Honey
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp Fresh Chopped Parsley
Instructions
- Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, thoroughly mix olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, sugar-free honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined to create a flavorful marinade.
- Marinate Shrimp: Add the peeled and deveined colossal shrimp to the marinade, stirring gently to coat all shrimp pieces evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour to allow the shrimp to absorb the flavors.
- Preheat Oven: When ready to cook, preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Skewer the Shrimp: Thread the marinated shrimp onto bamboo skewers, fitting 2 to 3 shrimp per skewer. Discard any leftover marinade to prevent sogginess and cross-contamination.
- Bake the Skewers: Place the shrimp skewers on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 4 to 6 minutes, turning the skewers halfway through cooking and basting with pan juices to keep them moist and flavorful.
- Finish and Serve: Before serving, brush the shrimp skewers with any remaining pan juices for extra flavor. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top and serve with fresh lemon slices for a bright finishing touch.
