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)

Directions

Step 1

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).

Step 2

Add the shrimp to the marinade, tossing to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes (but no more than 30 minutes).

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers, leaving a small amount of space between each shrimp.

Step 6

Grill the skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink, firm, and slightly charred. Remove from the grill.

Step 7

Serve the grilled herb shrimp immediately with a generous portion of mango salsa on the side. Optionally, garnish with additional fresh cilantro.
