Gambas al Ajillo Pintxo Recipe

shrimp

garlic

olive oil

lemon juice

Parsley (chopped, to serve)

Sea salt flakes (to serve)

skewers

If you have whole shrimp, remove the shrimp heads, shells, and legs, leaving the tails on. To prepare for cooking, add three raw shrimp to each of your skewers by piercing them at each end (once at the tip and once just above the tail. They should look like the letter C on the skewer).

Meanwhile, place a large skillet (large enough to fit your skewers) over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, and when hot, the garlic. When the garlic is aromatic (about 1 minute), place the skewers, 3 at a time, in the skillet. Saute for 3-5 minutes on each side or until golden and cooked through. (You can add a bit more oil to the pan if the shrimp start sticking).

Remove from the pan and place on a plate, dressing with lemon juice. Garnish with parsley, flakes of sea salt, and serve with crusty bread.

These shrimp kabobs are so easy to make and incredibly versatile. Grab your favorite veggies and store bought seasoning and toss it all together with some shrimp, skewer it up, and grill to perfection.

Shrimp Kebobs

Shrimp

zucchini sliced

onion

red bell pepper

lemon sliced

shrimp marinade

Combine the shrimp, zucchini, onion, red pepper, and lemon in a large bowl. Add the shrimp marinade and toss to coat. Allow the shrimp and veggies to marinade for at least 30 minutes.

Soak wooden skewers in water for 10 minutes then thread the skewers with the vegetables and shrimp in only order you like.

Heat the grill to medium high. Once hot add the skewers to the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until the shrimp is cooked and the vegetables are tender.

Enjoy!
