from ButterYum
makes 2 pounds
Ingredients
2 pounds uncooked large or jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined (15-25 count per pound)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (1-2 lemons)
zest of 1 lemon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (I used Morton’s)
1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 teaspoons freshly minced garlic
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (reserve 1 teaspoon for garnish)
Directions
In a large mixing bowl or gallon-size zipper bag, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, kosher salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, minced garlic, and 2 teaspoons of the freshly chopped parsley.
Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss well to coat; cover with plastic wrap and rest in the refrigerator for between 30 and 120 minutes (no longer).
Place shrimp on skewers (if desired) and cook for 1-2 minutes per side on a preheated indoor grill pan (or outdoor grill); remove from heat and garnish with remaining 1 teaspoon freshly chopped parsley.
