Steps:
- To make the marinade, combine all of the ingredients except for the shrimp in a mini food processor or blender; blend until the mixture forms a smooth paste.
- Combine the shrimp and the marinade in a medium bowl and stir until shrimp are evenly coated. Let marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes - 1 hour.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Meanwhile, thread the shrimp onto skewers (going through the top and bottom of each shrimp). Lightly dip a wad of paper towels in vegetable oil and, using tongs, carefully rub over grates several times until glossy and coated. Grill the shrimp skewers about 1½ minutes per side. Be sure not to overcook! Serve hot, room temperature or cold.
- *If you're entertaining and want to get everything done ahead of time, you can thread the shrimp onto the skewers right after mixing with the marinade.

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.

HERB AND GARLIC MARINADE
This basic marinade imparts a bright flavor and keeps meats moist. It's perfect for grilling and also enhances the flavors of fresh vegetables, tofu, and soft cheeses. The marinade doesn't work well as a sauce, so discard it before cooking.

HERB-GARLIC MARINADE
Steps:
- Mince together garlic, thyme sprigs, and rosemary with salt and mash to a coarse paste. In a bowl whisk together garlic paste and remaining ingredients until emulsified. Marinade may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
Tips:
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs offer richer flavor than dried herbs. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount called for in the recipe.
- Let the shrimp marinate for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors of the marinade to penetrate the shrimp. You can marinate the shrimp for up to 24 hours, but no longer, or the shrimp will become tough.
- Use a flavorful oil: Olive oil or avocado oil are both good choices for marinating shrimp. Avoid using vegetable oil, which has a bland flavor.
- Add some acid: A little bit of acid, such as lemon juice or vinegar, will help to brighten the flavors of the marinade and prevent the shrimp from becoming bland.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the shrimp, do not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the shrimp from cooking evenly.
- Cook the shrimp over medium-high heat: Medium-high heat will help to sear the shrimp and prevent them from becoming rubbery.
- Do not overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cook quickly, so it is important to not overcook them. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and chewy.
Conclusion:
Garlic herb marinade is a delicious and easy way to add flavor to shrimp. This marinade is perfect for grilled, roasted, or pan-fried shrimp. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a marinade that will make your shrimp taste amazing. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy way to cook shrimp, try this garlic herb marinade. You won't be disappointed.
