  • 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).
