Amp up the flavor on this quick and easy appetizer with a dash of harissa.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds shrimp (16–20 count), peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons harissa
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, plus more for finishing
- 2 tablespoons minced Italian parsley
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 10 skewers, soaked in water
Preparation
Combine shrimp, harissa, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, parsley, and salt in a bowl and let marinate in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. Be careful not to marinate much longer, as the lemon juice will start to cook the shrimp and they will become rubbery.
Preheat grill or grill pan on a stove.
Skewer 4–5 shrimp to a skewer, then grill 2–3 minutes per side, until just cooked through. Place skewers on a platter and finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
