Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced into thick rounds
  • 1 small red onion, cut into chunks
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or cilantro (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375°F (190°C), about 10 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, melt the butter and stir in minced garlic and lemon juice. Let flavors meld for 5 minutes.
  3. Place shrimp in a large bowl. Add half of the garlic butter mixture, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss gently and let marinate for 10-15 minutes.
  4. In another bowl, toss bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion with olive oil and a pinch of salt.
  5. Thread shrimp and veggies alternately onto skewers, starting and ending with shrimp. Avoid overcrowding.
  6. Place skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, brushing with remaining garlic butter after flipping. Total cook time about 8-10 minutes until shrimp are pink and opaque.
  7. Remove kabobs from grill. Sprinkle with chopped parsley or cilantro and serve immediately with lemon wedges if desired.

Notes

Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Marinate shrimp briefly to avoid mushiness. Brush garlic butter regularly during grilling to prevent burning and add flavor. Move kabobs to cooler part of grill if shrimp chars too fast. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated gently in a skillet.
