How to Make Shrimp Marinated In Lemon

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Add 1 pound of peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl and gently toss to coat evenly with the marinade.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 3 hours, allowing the shrimp to absorb the delicious flavors.
  4. Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and grill or pan-fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through.
  6. Serve immediately and garnish with extra lemon wedges and fresh parsley (optional). Enjoy!
