These spicy grilled shrimp skewers are a flavorful and easy-to-make dish perfect for any barbecue or casual dinner.
Peel the shrimp, leaving the tails intact.
Leaving the tails on adds visual appeal and makes them easier to handle while eating.
Thread six shrimp onto each skewer.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning.
In a mixing bowl, combine black pepper, salt, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, oregano, thyme, and garlic powder to create the spice mix.
Mix the spices thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors.
Brush the shrimp with olive oil on both sides.
Brushing with oil prevents the shrimp from sticking to the grill and helps the spices adhere.
Sprinkle the spice mix evenly over the shrimp, coating both sides.
Pat the spices gently onto the shrimp to help them stick better.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Ensure the grill is hot before placing the shrimp to achieve a good sear.
Grill the shrimp skewers for about 4 minutes on each side or until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through.
Avoid overcooking the shrimp as they can become rubbery.
Serve the shrimp skewers with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
The fresh lemon juice enhances the flavors of the spices and shrimp.
