How to Make Lemon Dill Shrimp Kabobs

  1. **Prepare the Shrimp:** Peel, devein, and rinse 1 pound of large shrimp.
  2. **Marinate the Shrimp:** In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp with 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. **Marinate:** Let the shrimp marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes, or in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.
  4. **Prepare the Vegetables:** While the shrimp marinates, bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add 1 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds, and cook for 2 minutes. Drain well.
  5. **Assemble the Kabobs:** Drain the shrimp, reserving the marinade. Thread the shrimp, zucchini rounds, and 1 bell pepper (cut into 1-inch pieces) onto the soaked metal skewers.
  6. **Grill the Kabobs:** Preheat your grill to medium heat. Grill the kabobs for 10-12 minutes, turning once halfway through and brushing occasionally with the reserved marinade. Cook until the shrimp turns pink and the vegetables are tender.
  7. **Broil (Alternative):** Preheat your broiler. Place the kabobs on an unheated broiler pan 3-4 inches from the heat source. Broil for 10-12 minutes, turning once halfway through and brushing occasionally with the reserved marinade. Cook until the shrimp turns pink and the vegetables are tender.
  8. **Finish & Serve:** Discard any remaining marinade. Garnish with fresh dill sprigs, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
