Ingredients List
To create this exquisite dish, you’ll need:
- 2 lbs of large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup of apple cider vinegar (ACV)
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons of smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon of red chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Olive oil, for grilling
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
1. Start by combining shrimp with ACV, garlic, smoked paprika, chili flakes, lemon juice and salt and pepper in a large bowl. Gently toss until all shrimp are coated and marinate it for 30 minutes.
2. Preheat your grill to high heat and lightly brush it with olive oil to prevent the shrimp from sticking.
3. Thread the shrimp onto skewers and place them on the hot grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they are cooked through and have a beautiful pink color.
4. Take them off the grill and generously sprinkle some fresh parsley for a pop of freshness.
5. Serve warm and enjoy!
