Steps:
- Clean the shrimp, remove the shells. Make a slit down the back of the shrimp and clean well. This will also create the "butterfly" effect. Pat shrimp dry with paper towels.
- Mix together all of the ingredients except the shrimp.
- Add shrimp and coat well with the mixture. Cook within 10 minutes of combining or the lemon juice will start to cook the shrimp.
- In a large saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil on medium-high heat.

Steps:
- 1. Start by pre-soaking your wooden skewers. If using metal or broiling you can skip this obviously...
- 2. Combine first five ingredients in food processor; pulse until mixture is coarsely chopped.
- 3. Add olive oil and process until well blended.
- 4. Combine herb mixture and shrimp in a large zip lock bag and toss to coat.
- 5. Marinate shrimp in fridge for 30 minutes. Marinating any longer than 1 hr. can result in rubbery shrimp.
- 6. Go and pre-heat your grill, use upper rack if you have one. If broiling go ahead and start pre-heating your oven.
- 7. Remove shrimp from bag and thread onto skewers, you should have at least 6 shrimp to a skewer.
- 8. Place skewers on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill three minutes on each side or until done. Make sure and DO NOT over cook, or you will have dry, chewy shrimp.
- 9. I like to serve these with flavored rice and a salad. Enjoy !
CHEF JOHN'S GRILLED GARLIC AND HERB SHRIMP
This grilled garlic and herb shrimp recipe is very easy, IF you can just walk out into the backyard, and pick a handful of your own fresh, green sprigs. However, these are so amazingly delicious, if you don't have a garden, then do splurge and buy a bunch of all the herbs. And get the extra large shrimp so they can grill longer and get maximum caramelization.

Steps:
- Place salt, lemon zest, and 3 cloves garlic in bowl of a mortar and pestle. Pound with the pestle until mixture begins to form a paste, about 2 minutes. Add chopped basil, parsley, oregano, and thyme and pound with pestle until mixture begin to come together, about 5 minutes.
- Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of the olive oil into herb mixture. Grind together until mixture begins to form a sauce for marinating, about 1 minute. Pour in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. Stir mixture with a spoon until mixture is thoroughly combined, adding additional olive oil as needed. Mixture should be fairly thick but pourable.
- Place shrimp in a large bowl and mix in about 2/3 of the sauce, reserving 1/3 for serving. Stir until shrimp are evenly coated with the sauce, about 2 minutes. Transfer shrimp to a resealable plastic bag. Refrigerate 2 to 3 hours. Cover and refrigerate remaining sauce.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Thread shrimp onto skewers (pierce each twice, once through large part of shrimp, once through small part). Place skewers on hot grill. Cook on each side until shrimp are bright pink and opaque and exterior is beginning to caramelize, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer skewers to serving platter.
- Pour remaining sauce into mixing bowl. Whisk in 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper. Spoon sauce over shrimp. Serve with lemon wedges.

GRILLED HERB SHRIMP
Steps:
- Combine all the ingredients and allow them to marinate for 1 hour at room temperature or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
- Skewer the shrimp. I use 3 or 4 shrimp on a 12-inch skewer for dinner. Heat a grill with coals and brush the grill with oil to prevent the shrimp from sticking. Grill the shrimp for only 1 1/2 minutes on each side.

FRESH HERB-MARINATED SHRIMP
Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine garlic, herbs, and oil, and season with salt and pepper. Store, refrigerated, in an airtight container, for up to 1 day. Add shrimp, and marinate for 1 hour.
- Heat a grill or grill pan to medium heat. Remove shrimp from marinade, and grill for 1 to 2 minutes per side.
Tips:
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs add a burst of flavor to this dish. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but reduce the amount you use by half.
- Marinate the shrimp for at least 30 minutes: This will give the herbs time to infuse their flavor into the shrimp.
- Cook the shrimp over medium heat: This will help to prevent the shrimp from overcooking and becoming tough.
- Do not overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the shrimp will not cook evenly.
- Serve the shrimp immediately: Shrimp is best served fresh off the grill or stovetop.
Conclusion:
Fresh herb marinated shrimp is a quick and easy recipe that is perfect for a summer cookout or party. The shrimp is juicy and flavorful, and the marinade adds a delicious herb flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
