Oregano-infused Shrimp with Lemon-Herb Gremolata

Sure, here's a recipe for oregano-infused shrimp with lemon-herb gremolata, rewritten in the style of Serious Eats:

In the realm of grilled seafood, few dishes are as universally beloved as shrimp. They're relatively inexpensive, easy to cook, and universally crowd-pleasing. While there are countless ways to prepare shrimp, one of our favorites is to infuse them with the bright, herbaceous flavor of oregano. This simple but effective technique can be used with any type of shrimp, from small bay shrimp to large prawns. The key is to marinate the shrimp in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper for at least an hour, or up to overnight. This allows the flavors to penetrate the shrimp, resulting in a dish that is both juicy and flavorful

Prep time: 15 | Cook time: 10 | Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.
2. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight.
3. When ready to cook, heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
4. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and discard the marinade.
5. Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked through.

Why It Works
