Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 3 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 cup mango (diced)
- 0.5 cup red bell pepper (diced)
- 0.25 cup red onion (finely chopped)
- 1 jalapeño (finely minced, seeds removed for less heat)
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro (chopped, for salsa)
- 0.25 tsp salt (for salsa)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped cilantro, lemon juice, paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Add the shrimp to the marinade, tossing to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes (but no more than 30 minutes).
While the shrimp marinates, prepare the mango salsa. In a bowl, combine diced mango, diced red bell pepper, finely chopped red onion, minced jalapeño, fresh lime juice, chopped cilantro, and a pinch of salt. Stir well and set aside.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers, leaving a small amount of space between each shrimp.
Grill the skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink, firm, and slightly charred. Remove from the grill.
Serve the grilled herb shrimp immediately with a generous portion of mango salsa on the side. Optionally, garnish with additional fresh cilantro.
