- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of paprika

For the Green Sauce:

- 1 cup of fresh parsley leaves

To start, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Thread the shrimp onto the skewers, making sure to leave a little space between each shrimp.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
While the shrimp are cooking, make the green sauce. In a food processor, combine the parsley, cilantro, mint, green onions, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Once the shrimp are cooked, remove them from the grill and place them on a serving platter. Drizzle the green sauce over the top of the shrimp skewers and serve immediately.
