Ingredients

• Shrimp (large, peeled and deveined) - 300 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic (minced) - 2 cloves
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Ground coriander - 1 teaspoon
• Cayenne pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Fresh parsley (chopped) - 2 tablespoons for garnish

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to create the marinade.
2. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl, ensuring they are well coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

5. Remove from the grill and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
