Instructions

  1. Step 1: Soak 8 wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
  2. Step 2: In a bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 2 tbsp fresh orange juice, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until well combined.
  3. Step 3: Add 1 lb peeled and deveined large shrimp to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes to infuse flavors.
  4. Step 4: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Thread the marinated shrimp onto the soaked skewers, about 4-5 shrimp per skewer.
  5. Step 5: Grill shrimp skewers for 2-3 minutes per side until opaque and slightly charred, turning carefully with tongs.
  6. Step 6: Remove from grill and serve immediately with extra lemon wedges if desired.
