This one brings a taste of Argentina right to your table! Serve as an appetizer or a main. Succulent shrimp, perfectly grilled and infused with smoky goodness, threaded onto skewers. A vibrant chimichurri sauce bursting with fresh herbs, tangy vinegar, and a kick of garlic takes the whole thing to a new level. Fire up that grill, gather your friends, and get ready to experience Seatopia Tiger Shrimp, Argentinian style. ¡Buen provecho!

Directions

For the Chimichurri sauce

Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Pulse until smooth, but still a little gritty. Set aside.

For the shrimp

Soak the wooden skewers, fully submerged in cool water for 20 minutes so they do not burn when grilling. Pat shrimp dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. In a large bowl, combine shrimp, lemon juice, oil, salt, and pepper. Toss the shrimp until evenly coated. Add 4-5 shrimp per skewer.
Preheat the grill with the cover down for 10 minutes on medium-high heat. Clean the grates well. Place skewers flat on the grill. Put the cover down and cook for 2 minutes, flip and cook for two more minutes. Shrimp should no longer be translucent and turn white/orange.
Serve immediately topped with plenty of chimichurri plus extra for serving.
