APPETIZERS

Method

APPETIZERS

1

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest to create a marinade.

2

Prepare protein for marinating

If using shrimp, rinse and pat dry. If using salmon, cut into 1-inch chunks. Place the shrimp or salmon in a shallow dish or resealable bag.

3

Marinate

Add half of the marinade to the shrimp (or salmon) and toss to coat. Let marinate 10-15 minutes for shrimp, or 15-30 minutes for salmon.

4

Skewer

Thread 2-3 pieces of shrimp or salmon onto each wooden skewer. Reserve the remaining marinade for brushing.

5

Preheat grill

Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400-450°F). Lightly oil the grates.

6

Cook skewers

Grill shrimp skewers 2-3 minutes per side, or salmon skewers 4-6 minutes total, brushing with the remaining marinade halfway through.

7

Make dill yogurt dip

In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, dill, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

8

Serve

Transfer skewers to a platter, garnish with lemon wedges, and serve with dill yogurt dip.
