Grilled Cajun Shrimp Skewers

Ingredients

• 1 pound of large shrimp, peeled and deveined

• 2 tablespoons of olive oil

• 2 cloves of garlic, minced

• 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning

• 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Wooden or metal skewers

Directions

1. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, Cajun seasoning, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.

3. Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss until evenly coated with the seasoning mixture. Allow the shrimp to marinate for at least 15-20 minutes in the refrigerator.

4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

5. Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each shrimp.

6. Once the grill is hot, place the shrimp skewers directly onto the grill grates.

7. Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque, and have nice grill marks.

8. Once cooked, remove the shrimp skewers from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.

9. Garnish the grilled Cajun shrimp skewers with freshly chopped parsley or additional lemon wedges if desired.

10. Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes such as rice, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad.
