Fresh herbs, garlic, and a splash of spice helps make these shrimp Italian. Just wait 'til you try them dipped in marinara instead of cocktail sauce.

Grilled Italian Shrimp

Combine onion, parsley, basil and garlic in a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Pulse to mince; transfer to a large bowl.

Stir in olive oil, white wine vinegar, black pepper and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir in shrimp and marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes.

If desired, place shrimp on skewers or in a grill basket. Brush with remaining marinade. Grill until firm and opaque, about 3 minutes per side.
