Add the lime zest, lemon zest, salt, pepper, and garlic to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse a few times until the garlic is broken into little bits, then add the basil, cilantro, parsley, chives, and thyme. run the motor for about ⏱️ 5 seconds to get everything moving, then slowly stream in the olive oil until everything is well combined.

When ready to cook, preheat a grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, be sure to let them soak in warm water for at least ⏱️ 30 minutes prior to cooking so they don’t catch fire. Remove shrimp from the marinade, then place 3-4 of them on each skewer.

Grill shrimp for about ⏱️ 2-3 minutes on each side, depending on size, or until they’re slightly charred on the outside and pink / opaque throughout. Be careful not to overcook, as the shrimp will turn rubbery and tough. Garish with any leftover herbs and a few lemon and lime wedges. Serve immediately.
