I doubled this recipe and served it at a party. I used half fresh parsley and half fresh cilantro. I marinated it 4 hours, then sauteed it until the herbs were wilted then put it back in the fridge until I needed it. I served it chilled with fresh lemon slices. Everyone loved it! Thank you so much for sharing your delicious recipe Tebo. P.S. There were about 6-8 shrimp left and I gave them to a friend of mine to take home and she told me she tossed them with romaine and cherry tomatoes and squeezed some fresh lemon juice on it and it was a delicious salad for lunch the next day!

Delicious and easy- squeezed tons of lemon juice over them before serving.

I make this and add a little hot sauce to the skillet - I can't make them fast enough!
