Prepare the brown rice: Rinse the brown rice under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45-50 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
Marinate the shrimp: In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Let the shrimp marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 30 minutes) in the refrigerator.
Grill the shrimp: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers (if using) or place them directly onto the grill grates. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
Assemble and serve: Divide the cooked brown rice among four plates. Top with the grilled shrimp. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
For a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the shrimp marinade.
You can also cook the shrimp in a skillet over medium-high heat if you don't have a grill.
To save time, use pre-cooked brown rice.
