Lemon Herb Grilled Shrimp Skewers with Fig Balsamic Drizzle
Fresh, bright and perfect for summer grilling, these shrimp skewers come together in less than 30 minutes. Milanese Gremolata Olive Oil brings vibrant lemon, garlic and herb flavors to the shrimp, while a finishing drizzle of Fig Dark Balsamic adds a rich, slightly sweet finish that beautifully complements the smoky char from the grill. Serve with grilled vegetables, a crisp salad or warm crusty bread for an easy patio dinner.

I N S T R U C T I O N S :
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- In a large bowl, combine the Milanese Gremolata Olive Oil, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, pepper and parsley. Add the shrimp and toss until evenly coated. Let marinate for 15–20 minutes.
- Thread the shrimp onto skewers, leaving a small space between each shrimp for even cooking.
- Grill the shrimp for approximately 2–3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque with light grill marks. During the last few minutes of grilling, place the lemon halves cut-side down on the grill until lightly caramelized.
- Arrange the shrimp on a serving platter. Drizzle lightly with Fig Dark Balsamic and garnish with additional parsley. Serve immediately with the grilled lemon halves for squeezing over the shrimp.
