Delicious shrimp skewers marinated in a Mediterranean blend of garlic, olive oil, and lemon, served with a creamy lemon-dill sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Skewers (soaked in water if wooden)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
- Marinate the shrimp: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined. Toss in the shrimp, ensuring they are fully coated in this delicious mixture. Allow them to soak in these flavors for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the grill: Ready your grill or stovetop grill pan. Heat it over medium-high heat for optimal cooking.
- Skewer the shrimp: Once marinated, thread your shrimp onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each piece to allow for even cooking.
- Grill the skewers: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until shrimp turn pink.
- Make the creamy sauce: In a separate bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, chopped dill, and lemon zest until creamy and well-blended. Adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve the succulent shrimp skewers hot off the grill with the Creamy Lemon-Dill Sauce.
Notes
For a twist, substitute lime juice for lemon or use scallops for different protein. Marinate for at least 30 minutes for best flavor.
