# What You'll Need:
→ Seafood
01 - 1 lb (450 g) large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined (tail-on optional)
→ Marinade
02 - 3 tbsp olive oil
03 - 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
04 - 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
05 - 1 tsp smoked paprika
06 - 1/2 tsp sea salt
07 - 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
08 - 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

→ Vegetables & Additions
10 - 2 ripe avocados, cut into 1-inch cubes
11 - 1 medium red onion, cut into 1-inch chunks
12 - 1 lemon, cut into wedges (for garnish)
# Steps to Follow:
01 - In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and chopped parsley.
02 - Add the shrimp to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Let marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature.
03 - Thread shrimp, avocado cubes, and red onion chunks alternately onto skewers. Start and finish each skewer with shrimp for stability.
04 - Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates.
05 - Grill skewers for 2–3 minutes per side, turning once, until shrimp are opaque and lightly charred, and avocados show grill marks.
06 - Remove from grill and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
