Cilantro Marinated Shrimp Kabobs

Category: Kabobs/Kebobs/Skewers

1 pound shelled, deveined shrimp
1 bunch cilantro
1 small white onion, quartered
4 garlic cloves, halved
1 large lemon, juiced
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon coarse slat
Freshly ground black pepper
Skewers

Rinse the shrimp and put it in a bowl of ice water. If you are using wooden skewers place them in the same bowl.

Place the onion, cilantro, garlic, lemon juice and coarse salt in a food processor and puree. Slowly add the olive oil until you have a smooth mixture.

Skewer the shrimp and place in a baking dish. Add the marinade and coat the skewers evenly. Cover with plastic and place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Heat the grill for 20 minutes on high. Reduce the heat. Oil your grilling racks with a wadded paper towel soaked in olive oil. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for approximately 3 to 4 minutes, until shrimp turns pink. Flip skewers over and cook the other side.

Serve the skewers and enjoy!
