Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, 2 cloves of minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Shrimp and Zucchini Skewers have a rich history, originating from the Mediterranean region where fresh seafood and vegetables are abundant. This dish has been perfected by chefs in coastal towns, where the aroma of sizzling skewers fills the air. The key to this dish is the perfect balance of flavors - succulent shrimp, tender zucchini, and a burst of garlic butter. The extra garlic butter dipping sauce takes this dish to the next level, adding a creamy and savory element that complements the charred flavors of the skewers. For the best version of this dish, head to seaside restaurants in Greece or Italy, where the freshest ingredients make all the difference. To make it at home, ensure the shrimp is perfectly seasoned and the zucchini is grilled to perfection. This dish is a crowd-pleaser and a must-try for seafood lovers.
