- Begin by preparing the marinade. It’s so easy to prepare. Measure all of the herbs and spices listed and mix them together.
- Once that’s done, add in the olive oil and the lime juice. Mix to combine.
- Pour the mixture onto the shrimp and gently toss until the shrimp are well coated. Set aside while you heat up the grill.
