Grilled Chimmichurri Shrimp

Shrimp:
 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tail on or off, as you prefer)
 2 tbsp olive oil
 Juice of one lime
 Salt and pepper to taste
Chimmichurri:
 1/4 cup red onion, chopped
 2 garlic cloves
 1/4 cup olive oil
 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
 1/2 tsp kosher salt
 1/2 tsp black pepper
 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
 2 cups fresh parsley leaves
1

For the shrimp, toss with olive oil, lime juice, salt and pepper and let marinate 30 minutes.

2

Meanwhile, combine red onion, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes in a food processor or blender. Pulse to chop and combine. Add parsley leaves and process on low until desired consistency is achieved (I like mine a bit chunky but you can puree it completely if you like).

3

Preheat grill to medium. String shrimp on metal or bamboo skewers (if using bamboo, be sure to soak your skewers for at least 1 hour before grilling). Grill about 2 minutes per side.

4

Serve on or off skewers with chimmichurri drizzled over.
