- 10 9-inch bamboo skewers soaked in water 15-30 minutes
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper or more
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium-high.
- In a large bowl, whisk together cilantro, salt, pepper, cayenne and olive oil. Add shrimp and gently toss to coat.
- Run one skewer through the fattest part of 7 or 8 shrimp (depending on shrimp size), nesting the shrimp so they are curved in the same direction. Run a second skewer through all of the shrimp near the tail. Adjust shrimp, giving each a little space, to help them cook evenly. Repeat with remaining shrimp and skewers.
- Grill 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until shrimp are pink and just cooked through. Transfer to platter and serve.
