Fire up the grill and get ready to savour the flavours of summer with these Citrus-Shrimp Skewers. Larry’s Catch shrimp, marinated in a bright and tangy lemon-lime dressing, are grilled to perfection, making them a light yet satisfying addition to your Labour Day feast. These skewers are quick to prepare and full of fresh, zesty flavour, making them a must-have for any warm-weather gathering.

Ingredients:

  • 2 lb Larry’s Catch Shrimp
  • 2 lemons (juice and zest)
  • 2 limes (juice and zest)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Wooden or metal skewers

Thawing Instructions: Place the frozen shrimp in the refrigerator for 8-12 hours or overnight. For a quicker thaw, place the shrimp in a sealed bag in a bowl of cold water for about 20-30 minutes, changing the water halfway through.

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lime juice, olive oil, lemon zest, lime zest, and chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Add the thawed shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat. Let the shrimp marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Thread the shrimp onto skewers, 4-5 shrimp per skewer.
  5. Grill the skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and slightly charred.
  6. Serve the skewers hot, garnished with extra lemon and lime wedges and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
