• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano

• 2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Lightly oil the grill grate. Cook shrimp until opaque, about 5 minutes per side, basting frequently with reserved marinade.

Step 2

Whisk olive oil, parsley, lemon juice, hot pepper sauce, garlic, tomato paste, oregano, salt, and black pepper together in a mixing bowl. Reserve a small amount for basting later. Pour remaining marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add shrimp, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate shrimp in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

Step 3

Preheat a grill to medium-low heat. Thread shrimp onto skewers, piercing once near the tail and once near the head. Discard any remaining marinade.
