Garlic4 cloves
Olive oil1/3 cup
Salt1 tsp
Red onion1 large
Zucchini2 medium
Olive oil2 tbsp
Salt1/2 tsp

Method

1

If using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes. Pat shrimp dry with paper towels.

2

In a food processor, combine parsley, oregano, garlic, red wine vinegar, 1/3 cup olive oil, red pepper flakes, and 1 tsp salt. Pulse until a chunky paste forms. Transfer to a small bowl and reserve 1/2 cup for serving; set both aside.

3

In a large bowl, toss shrimp with 1/4 cup of the prepared chimichurri. Let sit for 10 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours refrigerated.

4

In another bowl, toss bell pepper, red onion, and zucchini chunks with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.

5

Thread shrimp and vegetables alternately onto skewers, starting and ending with a vegetable piece. Use 2 shrimp per skewer.

6

Preheat grill to medium-high (about 400°F). Oil grates lightly.

7

Place skewers on grill. Cook 5–6 minutes per side until shrimp are opaque and curled and vegetables are tender with light char marks. Do not move skewers too frequently.

8

Transfer skewers to a serving platter. Spoon reserved chimichurri sauce over the top and serve immediately.
