1/4 C cilantro

1/3 C parsley

2 cloves garlic minced

1 Serrano pepper finely diced

1 shallot minced

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp oregano

Pinch of salt

Pinch of red pepper flakes

Directions

Make the Chimichurri and set aside. Add the shrimp to the marinade with and only let it soak in for 5-10 minutes. (Too long will make the shrimp tough and rubbery)

Lay the shrimp on an angle on the grill grates, this will help prevent them from getting stuck in between the grates. Grill for about 3 minutes each side or until no longer opaque.

Serve with the Chimichurri and some cilantro lime rice.

This dish is can be paired with a rose wine.
