Ingredients

For the Aji Verde Sauce

1 bunch Cilantro
1 handful Parsley Leaves
3 cloves Garlic
2 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
2 Lemons juiced
1/3 C Tahini
1/4 Jalapeno seeds removed
1/4-1/2 tsp Sea Salt
1/3 C Water

For the Oven Baked Shrimp Kabobs

1 lb Shrimp devined and cleaned
1 tbsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper

Instructions

For the Shrimp Kabobs

Soak the kabobs in water for 10 minutes. Preheat the oven to 325.
Skewer the shrimp onto the kabobs and set on a foil-lined sheet pan. Season with salt pepper and drizzle with olive oil.
Place in the oven for 7 minutes.
Flip the kabobs and cook for another 4 minutes or until the shrimp are opaque.

For the Sauce

In a high speed blender combine the cilantro, parsley, garlic, vinegar, lemon juice, tahini, jalapeno and water. Blend until smooth.

Tips

Pro Tip: Freeze the sauce in ice trays for single serving portions. The shrimp should only be kept in the oven for one or two days. They get tough and dry when reheated so you can enjoy them cold over a salad. They usually taste best the second they get out of the oven.
Make Ahead: You can always prepare the skewers and the sauce ahead of time. Pop the skewers into the toaster oven for 7 minutes at 325 degrees right before serving.
