Grilled Lemon Garlic Skewers
Ingredients:
- 1 tsp Olive Oil
- 1 lb Shrimp jumbo, raw, peeled, and deveined, tails on
- 2 Bell Peppers different colors of your choice, cut into bite sized chunks, 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 c Red Onions cut into bite sized chunks, 1/2 inch pieces
- .5 tsp Italian Seasoning
- .25 tsp Smoked Paprika
- 3 tbsp Ghee or butter
- 4 cloves Garlic minced or pressed
- 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1 tbsp 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 some olive oil.
- Thread the shrimp, peppers and onions onto skewers. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning and splintering.
- Season shrimp and vegetables with salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning and paprika.
- In a small bowl, combine the melted ghee (or butter), garlic, lemon juice and parsley together. Brush lemon butter sauce on both sides of shrimp, 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.
