Shrimp can be given the title of almost the most versatile product in terms of cooking.

Judge for yourself – they can be boiled, fried, baked, steamed…

However, regardless of which cooking method you ultimately choose for yourself, watch the time carefully. Otherwise, the taste and texture of seafood will change for the worse.

Today we offer you a recipe for grilled shrimp.

So, before you start cooking, wash the shrimp thoroughly under running water and dry them with a paper towel.

After this, prepare the marinade - to do this, grate the lemon zest and squeeze out the juice, then add olive oil, chopped garlic, salt and pepper and mix.

Place the shrimp in the marinade for an hour, placing the container with seafood in the refrigerator.

You should also prepare wooden skewers by soaking them in water for 15 minutes.

After the specified time, thread the shrimp onto skewers and place the improvised shashlik on the grill or barbecue. Don't forget to leave some space between the skewers so that air can circulate freely.

Sprinkle the shrimp with any oil and add your favorite spices and salt, then fry for 2 minutes on each side.
