- Set it aside on the counter for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors mingle.
- Make the marinade by combining the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper to taste in a large zip-lock bag. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp and mix until evenly coated in the marinade; set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.
- Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat or heat a grill to medium-high.
- Skewer the shrimp onto skewers 5-6 at a time.
- Grill the shrimp by placing the skewers on the hot grill pan and grilling for 2-3 minutes per side, depending on the shrimp size, until the outside is pink and the inside is just opaque. Remove from the grill to a serving plate.
- Serve the shrimp by slathering each hot skewer with the well-mixed chimichurri sauce straight from the grill pan.
- Serve immediately with additional chimichurri sauce on the side. Enjoy.
