Preparation Steps
In a medium bowl, combine parsley, cilantro, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Gradually whisk in the olive oil until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl with the chimichurri sauce. Toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the shrimp onto skewers if using (this makes grilling easier and prevents them from falling through the grates).
Grill the shrimp for 2-4 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through. Avoid overcooking.
Serve immediately, drizzled with any remaining chimichurri sauce.
