Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, cilantro, parsley, garlic, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
  2. In a large bowl, place the shrimp, pour ¾ of the marinade over them, toss gently, cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  3. Prepare your skewers. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes if using them. Thread the shrimp onto the skewers.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the shrimp skewers for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque.
  5. Remove skewers from the grill, drizzle with remaining marinade, garnish with herbs if desired, and serve immediately.
