Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped spearmint and fresh parsley.
- Add the dried oregano and minced garlic to the bowl.

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.
