Yield Makes about 20 shrimp

3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 tablespoon minced jalapeno chile (from 1/2 jalapeno)

1 tablespoon grated fresh lemon zest
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound jumbo shrimp, in shells (about 20)

  • Combine all ingredients except shrimp in a large resealable plastic bag. Snip through each shrimp shell down the back, leaving last segment and tail intact, and devein with a paring knife, leaving shell intact. Add shrimp to bag and massage with marinade. Refrigerate at least 8 hours or up to overnight.
  • Soak 10 short wooden skewers in water 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat grill for indirect heat, with coals to 1 side (or medium heat on a gas grill). Thread 2 shrimp onto each skewer and place on indirect side of grill. Cook, turning once, until shrimp are curled, slightly charred, and cooked through, about 5 minutes.

GRILLED HERBED SHRIMP ON MIXED GREENS

This is a great after-work meal in the summer time, when it's too hot to cook indoors, though the shrimp can be cooked in your oven's broiler as well. This is pretty versatile....you can alter the salad ingredients according to your taste. I've adapted this from a Pillsbury recipe.
