Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, dried oregano, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to create the marinade.
- Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- While the shrimp are marinating, thinly slice the onion. Set aside.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Place the sliced onions on the grill and cook for about 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and have nice grill marks. Remove from grill and set aside.
- Remove the shrimp from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off.
- Place the shrimp on the preheated grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
- Arrange the grilled shrimp on a serving platter. Top with the grilled onions.
- Optionally, drizzle with a bit of extra olive oil and sprinkle a pinch of extra oregano for added flavor.
- Serve immediately, while the shrimp are still warm. This dish pairs beautifully with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad.
Tips:
- Ensure the shrimp is fresh and deveined for the best flavor and texture.
- Marinate the shrimp for at least 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Use a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat to achieve the perfect char on the shrimp.
- Don't overcook the shrimp; they should be opaque and slightly firm to touch after grilling.
- Feel free to add a splash of lemon juice before serving for an extra zest.
