Instructions
  1. To prepare the marinade: In a blender, add salt, pepper, garlic, basil, parsley, crushed red pepper, lemon zest and olive oil. Pulse the ingredients together until coarsely combined.
  2. To skewer the shrimp: Thread shrimp onto two skewers spaced evenly apart, one skewer at a time. Put 4 shrimp onto each set of skewers. Season with salt and pepper. You will have four sets of skewers.
  3. To marinate the shrimp: Lay the skewers in a shallow dish. Spoon half of the mixture over the shrimp and spread evenly. Flip the shrimp over and spoon and spread the rest of the mixture onto the shrimp. Refrigerate for at least one hour (3-4 hours is better). Remove the shrimp from the fridge 15 minutes before you are ready to grill.
  4. Grill the brochettes: Over a medium-high fire, grill the shrimp 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
