Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1.5 lb jumbo shrimp, peeled & deveined, tail-on
  • 1 medium zucchini, cut into round slices
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into cubes
  • Fresh dill to garnish
  • Lemon wedges to garnish

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing the marinade. In a small bowl, mix together the fresh lemon juice, olive oil, paprika, onion powder, dried oregano, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and ground black pepper.
  2. Pour the marinade over the jumbo shrimp in a mixing bowl, tossing gently until they’re fully coated. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of the marinade for brushing later, and allow the shrimp to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Next, start threading the shrimp onto the skewers. Alternate them with slices of fresh zucchini and cubes of red onion.
  4. Place the assembled skewers on a baking rack or pan. Preheat your oven to broil on high and cook the skewers for 3-5 minutes on each side, turning often.
  5. Once cooked, brush the skewers with the reserved marinade and garnish with fresh dill and lemon wedges before serving.

Notes

Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before use. Avoid overcrowding the skewers for even cooking.
