Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 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.
- 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.

- Preheat your BBQ grill to medium-high heat.
- 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.
- 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.
