Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. Combine with 3 tbsp olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Toss shrimp with onion and bell pepper until evenly coated. Thread onto skewers, alternating proteins and vegetables.

  3. Step 3

    Arrange skewers on a sheet pan. Drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Place under the broiler 6 inches from heat.

  4. Step 4

    Broil 5–6 minutes until shrimp are opaque and edges char, shaking the pan halfway. Shrimp should feel firm when pressed.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer to a platter. Scatter parsley over top and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
