Ingredients

• Olive oil for the grill
• 1 lb about 24 raw jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined, tail off
• 2-3 bell peppers a mix of colors – red, yellow, green or orange cut into bite-sized chunks (about 1 1/2″)
• 8 oz of green or yellow squash
• 1 red onion cut into bite-sized chunks (about 1 1/2″)
• 8 oz of large mushrooms cut in ½, optional
• Sea salt and ground pepper to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika optional
• Metal or wooden skewers
• 2 tablespoons finely minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

• Preheat the grill (or grill pan) to medium-high. Using a brush, clean the grill and grease with oil using a long pair of tongs with some folded paper towels dipped in some olive oil.
• Thread the shrimp, peppers and onions onto skewers. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning and splintering.
• Season shrimp and vegetables with salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning and paprika if using.
• In a small bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, garlic, lemon juice and parsley together. Brush sauce on both sides of shrimp, reserving some for later.
• Grill skewers for 3-4 minutes on each side or until shrimp is opaque and vegetables are tender or starting to brown just slightly.
• Brush remaining lemon sauce over the shrimp and allow to cook for 10 more seconds. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
