Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Add 1 lb peeled and deveined large shrimp and toss to coat. Marinate for 20 minutes at room temperature.
  2. Step 2: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Thread shrimp onto skewers to make grilling easier.
  3. Step 3: Grill shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink, opaque, and slightly charred on edges. Remove from heat.
  4. Step 4: In a medium bowl, toss 1 cup chopped mixed fresh herbs (parsley, mint, basil), 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion, 1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes, and 1/2 cup diced cucumber with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt.
  5. Step 5: Serve grilled shrimp on top of the herb salad, garnishing with an extra squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
