Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, finely chopped, for garnish
- Skewers (wooden or metal)
Instructions
- Pat shrimp dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir in half of the grated Parmesan.
- Toss shrimp gently with the mixture and let sit for 10–30 minutes in the fridge.
- Thread 4–6 shrimp per skewer. Brush remaining butter mixture over skewers and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan.
- Preheat grill to medium-high. Grill skewers for 2–3 minutes per side until shrimp are opaque.
- Alternatively, preheat broiler to high and broil for 2–3 minutes per side.
- Remove from heat when shrimp curl into a loose “C” shape and are opaque throughout. Garnish with chopped parsley.
Notes
Watch the shrimp closely to avoid overcooking, as they become rubbery quickly. For the best results, use uniform-sized shrimp.
