Fire up the grill for this grilled shrimp kabobs recipe! They’re quick and easy and come out juicy and perfectly seasoned, ideal for a summer cookout or weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, tail on and deveined (we used 26 to 30 per pound size), wild caught if possible*
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 lemon wedges
  • Finely chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
  • Comeback Sauce, for serving (if desired)

Instructions

  1. Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (375 to 450°F). Soak wooden skewers for at least 20 minutes.
  2. Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel or clean towel. Place it in a bowl and add the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin and kosher salt. Mix to combine.
  3. Thread the shrimp onto the skewers, alternating direction of the tails and making the shrimp just touch each other (so they don’t spin when flipping the skewers). Place skewers directly on the grill and grill 1 to 2 minutes per side, until bright pink and cooked through.
  4. Remove from the grill and squeeze on fresh lemon juice from the lemon wedges. Top with finely chopped parsley if desired. If desired, serve with Comeback Sauce. 

Notes

*You can also use medium or jumbo shrimp; medium shrimp should cook in closer to 1 minute per side, and jumbo in about 2 minutes per side.
