  • 1 tsp Dried Oregano 2g

  • 3 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice 15ml, fresh

Method
 

Preparation
  1. If using bamboo skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (400°F / 200°C).
  2. Whisk olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, half the oregano, and half the pepper in a small bowl.
Assembly & Grilling
  1. Alternate shrimp, sausage, zucchini, and pepper chunks onto skewers. Brush generously with the herb oil glaze.
  2. Place skewers on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until shrimp are pink and sausage is browned with charred edges.
  3. Remove from heat. Brush with remaining oil and sprinkle with extra oregano and cracked black pepper before serving.

Notes

Ensure even slicing of vegetables for consistent cooking.
Always oil your grill grates to prevent the shrimp from sticking.
