📝 Preparation Steps
1
This is a great time to soak your bamboo skewers if you haven't already done so. If shrimp are still in the shell, use a sharp scissors and cut along the middle back of each shrimp, leaving the tail intact.
2
Using a sharp paring knife, cut along the dark vein on the back of each shrimp and remove it. Rinse out the back of each shrimp and pat dry with paper towels.
3
In a food processor or blender, combine onion, olive oil, basil, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, Dijon, dry mustard, and salt and pepper to taste (I like 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper). Process until smooth. Pour into a zipper-top plastic bag.
