Preheat the grill over high heat.

Add the shrimp and stir to coat the shrimp thoroughly.

4

Cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.

Using a small grate grill rack, grill the shrimp for about 1-2 minutes per side or until pink and just cooked through.

(If you don't have a small grill rack you can also thread the shrimp on skewers to prevent them from falling through your rack.) Remove from the grill and garnish with cilantro and parsley.
