15 g fresh basil leaves, 2/3c
5 g fresh rosemary leaves, 2T
25 g fresh parsley leaves (stems removed), 1/2c
15 g or 3-4 garlic cloves
5 g salt, 3/4t

Instructions

BLENDER METHOD:

Add all ingredients to blender and blend on high for 20-30 seconds until smooth.

BY HAND:

Finely chop basil, rosemary, and parsley with the salt until finely minced.
Grate garlic & lemon zest with a microplane. Chop in with the herbs.
Stir the rest of the ingredients into the herb mix.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Salt your meat (5g/1t per lb). Allow it to sit for about 10 min before adding half of the marinade.
Marinate for 20-30 minutes in the fridge.
If using shrimp, place about 4 shrimp on a skewer and either grill or cook over medium heat for 2-3min per side (for large 8/12 shrimp), keeping the shrimp moving as you cook.
Once cooked, brush on some of the reserved marinade.
