Instructions

Step 1: Place 12 oz shrimp in a bowl and add 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp crushed black peppercorns, and 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil. Toss to coat evenly and marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
Step 2: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (375°F) and lightly oil the grates. Thread shrimp onto skewers, discarding any excess marinade.
Step 3: Grill shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until opaque and slightly charred, turning once halfway through.
Step 4: While shrimp grills, mince 2 garlic cloves and finely chop 2 tbsp fresh parsley. Toss the minced garlic and parsley into the reserved marinade in the bowl.
Step 5: Remove shrimp from grill, drizzle with garlic-parsley marinade, and serve immediately while still warm.
