🧂 Ingredients

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

Instructions

1 Add the olive oil, herbs, and spices to a small mixing bowl and whisk together.
2 Place the shrimp in a bowl and pour 3/4 of the marinade on top of the shrimp.
Mix together gently to coat the shrimp evenly.
3 Cover the bowl and marinate the shrimp for 30 minutes to an hour.
4 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.
5 Heat a grill on medium high heat (around 400°F).
6 Once the grill is hot, arrange the shrimp skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3
minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque.
7 Remove the shrimp skewers to a plate and spoon the remaining marinade on top
before serving.
