Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil and lemon juice until evenly coated.
- Add 2 tablespoons of Chesapeake-style rub or Herby rub and mix well.
- Thread shrimp onto skewers, using 3 to 5 shrimp per skewer.
- Grill the skewers for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until shrimp are opaque throughout and have grill marks.
- Remove from grill, grate fresh lemon zest over the top, and serve with optional grilled lemon wedges.
Notes
- Use metal skewers or soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Don’t overcook—shrimp cook quickly and can become rubbery if left on the grill too long.
- Use fresh lemon zest for bright flavor contrast to the seasoning rub.
- Chesapeake-style rub gives a bold flavor; for a lighter version, use a simple herby blend.
- Serve over a salad, rice, or alongside grilled veggies for a complete meal.
