Marinating the Shrimp: In a bowl, mix the minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Add the shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15-30 minutes.
Preparing the Grill: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water beforehand to prevent burning.
Making the Shrimp Skewers: Thread the marinated shrimp onto the wooden skewers, alternating with any additional vegetables such as lemon slices, cherry tomatoes, or bell peppers, if desired.
Grilling the Skewers: Place the shrimp skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and firm. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become tough.
Preparing the Fresh Salad (optional): Mix the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion in a large bowl.
Drizzle the salad with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve the grilled shrimp skewers immediately, optionally with a fresh salad and crusty bread on the side. Enjoy the juicy shrimp with the delicious lemon-garlic flavor!
