Grilled Shrimp With Charmoula - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    24 large shrimp
    1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
    2 teaspoons paprika
    1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    1 teaspoon ground cumin
    3 garlic cloves, minced
    1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (Italian, flat-leaf is best)
    1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
    1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
    salt and pepper, to taste
Preparation
    Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving tail fin intact. Place in large zipper bag.
    Combine all other ingredients in a bowl, whisking to blend. Pour 1/2 the marinade over the shrimp. Seal bag, and marinate, refrigerated, for 1-2 hours.
    Prepare grill or preheat broiler.
    Remove the shrimp from the marinade, discarding marinade, and thread on skewers. If planning to serve on the skewer, estimate 6 shrimp per serving. Using double skewers will make it easier to turn the shrimp. Grill or broil until done, turning once - approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
    Serve with reserved marinade as a sauce.
