Creating Easy Mediterranean Shrimp Kabobs can be an enjoyable experience if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper, whisking until well blended.
2. Marinate the Shrimp: Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator for optimal flavor.
3. Prepare Vegetables: While the shrimp marinates, chop your bell peppers, onion, and zucchini into bite-sized pieces.
4. Assemble the Skewers: Thread the marinated shrimp and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating shrimp and vegetables for a colorful presentation.
5. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan on the stove, preheat it as well.
6. Grill the Kabobs: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the vegetables are tender.
7. Remove and Rest: Once cooked, remove the kabobs from the grill, allowing them to rest for a couple of minutes.
8. Garnish (Optional): For an extra touch, drizzle with a bit of additional olive oil or fresh herbs before serving.
