Step-by-Step Instructions for Grilled Shrimp
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high/high heat around 400°F to 450°F. Wipe a bit of oil on the grates to prevent sticking.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together the marinade ingredients until well combined and fragrant.
  3. Add the shrimp to the marinade, ensuring each shrimp is evenly coated, and let them soak for around 10 minutes.
  4. Grill the shrimp for about 3 minutes on one side until charred and bright pink.
  5. Flip the shrimp and cook for an additional 2 minutes until opaque and firm.
  6. Remove from the grill, garnish with lemon wedges and parsley, and serve immediately.
