Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 lb peeled and deveined large shrimp to the marinade, tossing gently to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes to absorb flavors.
  3. Step 3: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Thread shrimp onto 8 soaked wooden skewers, about 4-5 shrimp per skewer.
  4. Step 4: Grill shrimp skewers for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque, with slight char marks, being careful not to overcook.
  5. Step 5: Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Pack in a container with lemon wedges for a fresh squeeze before serving at your picnic.
