Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 1 pound large shrimp
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (finely chopped)
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley (finely chopped)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • pinch cayenne pepper (adjust to spice preference)

Instruction

  • Add the olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, garlic, and spices to a small mixing bowl and whisk together.
  • Place the shrimp in a bowl and pour 3/4 of the marinade on top of the shrimp. Mix together gently until the shrimp are well coated.
  • Cover the bowl and marinate the shrimp for 30 minutes to an hour.
  • Thread the shrimp on the skewers and make sure to get all the good garlic and herbs from the bowl and spread on to the shrimp.
  • Heat a grill or grill pan on medium high heat.
  • Once the grill is hot, place the shrimp skewers on the grill and cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes each side, or until they turn pink and opaque.
  • Remove the shrimp to a plate and spoon the remaining marinade on top before serving.
