Method
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, parsley, oregano, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Add the peeled and deveined Argentinian red shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat the shrimp with the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.
Heat a grill or grill pan over high heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and discard any excess marinade.
Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side or until they are pink and opaque.
Serve the grilled shrimp hot with lemon wedges on the side.
Make sure the grill or grill pan is hot before adding the shrimp to ensure they cook evenly and don't stick to the surface.Use a flat skewer to thread the shrimp onto for easy flipping on the grill.To save time, prepare the marinade the night before and let the shrimp marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
