Instructions

Step 1

Mix the marinade. Add the olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, garlic, and spices to a small mixing bowl and whisk together.

Step 2

Marinate the shrimp. Place the shrimp in a bowl and pour ¾ of the marinade on top of the shrimp. Mix gently until the shrimp are well coated. Cover the bowl and marinate the shrimp for 30 minutes to an hour.

Step 3

Prep the shrimp for grilling. Thread the shrimp on the skewers. Make sure to get all the good garlic and herbs from the bowl and spread on to the shrimp

Step 4

Grill 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 for 2 to 3 minutes each side, or until they turn pink and opaque.

Step 5

Serve. Remove the shrimp to a plate and spoon the remaining marinade on top before serving.
