  • Combine cilantro, parsley, garlic, lime juice, oil, 1/4 tsp. salt, and pepper in a mini food processor. Process until the herbs are finely chopped. Reserve 1/4 cup of the salsa. Transfer the rest to a medium bowl and add beans, tomatoes, and cucumber; stir to combine.

  • Thread shrimp onto four 12-inch metal or bamboo skewers and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 tsp. salt. Grill the shrimp, turning once, until they turn pink and opaque, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve the shrimp over the vegetable mixture, drizzled with the reserved salsa. Garnish with additional cilantro, if desired.

Tips

Equipment: Mini food processor; four 12-inch metal or bamboo skewers

Tips

Tip: To broil the shrimp: Preheat broiler to high. Skewer the shrimp as directed in Step 3 and place on a large baking sheet. Broil 3 to 4 inches from the heat source, flipping the skewers once and turning the pan as needed, until the shrimp are pink and opaque, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
