Instructions

                                                                                            • Step 1: Add the olive oil, herbs, and spices to a small mixing bowl and whisk together.
                                                                                              • Step 2: Place the shrimp in a bowl and pour 3/4 of the marinade on top of the shrimp. Mix together gently to coat the shrimp evenly.
                                                                                              • Step 3: Cover the bowl and marinate the shrimp for 30 minutes to an hour.
                                                                                              • Step 4: Thread the shrimp on the skewers and make sure to get all the good garlic and herbs from the bowl and spread on to the shrimp.
                                                                                              • Step 5: Heat a grill on medium high heat (around 400°F).
                                                                                              • Step 6: Once the grill is hot, arrange the shrimp skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque.
                                                                                              • Step 7: Remove the shrimp skewers to a plate and spoon the remaining marinade on top before serving.
