This shrimp recipe embodies what's great about grilling: Just a few minutes over the coals transforms a handful of simple ingredients into a tasty dinner that's fuss-free and sure to please everyone.
Ingredients
Makes 4 servings
Equipment
Accompaniment:
Step 1

Back to TopI made this on the grill pan and didn't skewer because of that. I also reduced the salt and added a squirt of lemon at the end. Otherwise, made as is.

What a simple, lovely recipe! My only change was a squeeze of lemon right before taking the shrimp off the grill. I will definitely make this dish again.

Love this recipe. I don't skewer (or use the red onions). Just throw the shrimp on the grill and serve with lemons. Great as an appetizer with cocktails. Fun ... and delicious!

This recipe was very easy to make. I had to cut the salt because the first batch I made was too salty so I just seasoned to taste

This was so easy and absolutely delicious - and I'm not wild about shrimp. Will make often this summer, but mind the salt (was a little too salty for me this time and I'm not usually shy about sodium).

This was OK. Nothing special. The orzo is better! BUT still very quick and easy to put together with ingredients always in the pantry (apart from the prawns).

Super easy and very tasty. I used my mortar and pestle to crush the oregano even finer. Let the shrimp marinate for 1 hour. Love it when a recipe is simple, yet amazingly flavorful. I did make with the orzo, too. Thought the recipes worked well together, as this is a mediterranean dish.

我们爱这个食谱,让客人several times since discovering it a few weeks ago. It's amazingly easy, and the flavours work so well together. We do it in a grill basket, rather than on skewers, which makes it even easier. Yum!
