How To Make herb marinated shrimp

• 1

  Start by pre-soaking wooden skewers. If using metal or broiling, you skip this step.
• 2

  Combine the basil, oregano, salt, pepper, and garlic in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is coarsely chopped.
• 3

  Add olive oil.
• 4

  Process until well blended.
• 5

  Combine herb mixture and shrimp in a large resealable bag and toss to coat. Marinate shrimp in the fridge for 30 minutes. Marinating any longer than 1 hour can result in rubbery shrimp. Preheat the grill. If broiling, start preheating the oven.
• 6

  Remove shrimp from the bag and thread onto skewers, you should have at least 6 shrimp to a skewer. Place skewers on a grill rack coated with cooking spray.
• 7

  Grill for three minutes on each side. DO NOT overcook or the shrimp will be dry and chewy.

  I like to serve these with flavored rice and a salad.
