Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/3 c basil, fresh
2 Tbsp oregano, fresh
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
3 garlic cloves, halved
2 1/2 tsp olive oil
1 1/2 lb shrimp, large and peeled
cooking spray

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 !

These shrimp were a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less chili powder next time.

The shrimp were a bit overcooked, but the marinade was still flavorful. I'll be sure to cook them for less time next time.

These shrimp were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add more herbs and spices next time.
