Ingredients
- Olive oil for the grill
- 1 lb. about 24 raw jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on
- 2-3 bell peppers a mix of colors: red, yellow, green, or orange, cut into bite-sized chunks (about 1 1/2")
- 1 red onion cut into bite-sized chunks (about 1 1/2")
- Himalayan pink salt and ground pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika optional
- Metal or wooden skewers
- 3 tablespoons ghee melted (or butter for non-Paleo)
- 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 olive oil.
- Thread the shrimp, peppers, and onions onto skewers. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Season shrimp and vegetables with salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and paprika (if using).
- In a small bowl, combine the melted ghee (or butter), garlic, lemon juice, and parsley. Brush this lemon butter sauce on both sides of the skewers, 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.
