1/2 tablespoon of fresh lime Thai basil, chopped (standard basil will do too)
1/2 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped

Steps:

Whisk together all the marinade ingredients. Reserve half for basting during grilling process. add rinsed shrimp to a large Ziploc baggie and add remaining marinade. Only let set for about 10-15 minutes Discard marinade.
Skewer about 4 shrimp on each pre soaked wooden skewers. Arrange on grill so they do not overlap. Brush with reserved marinade occasionally while cooking. Grill about 7 min on each side, or until shrimp curl tail to head and turn pink.
