Herbed bbq shrimps

Herbed BBQ Shrimp is a delightful and flavorful dish that marries the freshness of herbs with the rich, succulent taste of grilled shrimp. This recipe combines spearmint, fresh parsley, and dried oregano to create a unique and mouthwatering BBQ experience that is perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup spearmint
30g
2 tbsp fresh parsley
10g
2 tbsp dried oregano
30g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1/3 cup vinegar
72g
1/4 cup olive oil
60g
3 lb shrimps
1360g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped spearmint and fresh parsley.
- Add the dried oregano and minced garlic to the bowl.
- Pour in the vinegar and olive oil. Stir the mixture well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly combined.
2. Marinate the Shrimps:
- Place the peeled and deveined shrimps in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
- Pour the herbed marinade over the shrimps, making sure they are well-coated.
- Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Let the shrimps marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, marinate for up to 2 hours.
3. Preheat the Grill:
- Preheat your BBQ grill to medium-high heat.
4. Grill the Shrimps:
- Remove the shrimps from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off.
- Thread the shrimps onto skewers for easy grilling (optional).
- Place the shrimps directly on the preheated grill.
- Grill the shrimps for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and slightly charred.
5. Serve:
- Transfer the grilled shrimps to a serving platter.
- Optionally, garnish with additional chopped parsley or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

Tips:

- Ensure your shrimp are fresh, peeled, and deveined for the best texture and flavor.

- Marinate the shrimp for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to fully infuse.

- Preheat your grill to a medium-high temperature to avoid overcooking and to achieve a nice char on the shrimp.

- Use skewers to make turning the shrimp on the grill easier and more efficient.

- Basting the shrimp with the marinade while grilling can enhance the flavor even more.
