1 Thaw shrimp. Rinse limes under hot water. Grate zest from both limes.

2 Squeeze juice from limes. In bowl, combine 6 tbsp of the lime juice, the lime zest, soy sauce and 4 tbsp of the oil. Peel garlic, squeeze through press and add to lime mixture. Season with cayenne.

3 Pat shrimp dry. Slit open backs with small knife and remove black veins. Thread 4 shrimp each onto eight sets of 2 parallel skewers (so shrimp won’t rotate when you turn skewers). Place skewers in shallow dish and pour marinade over top. Marinate for 1 hour, turning occasionally.

4 Rinse chives, parsley and lemon balm and shake dry. Finely chop chives, parsley and lemon balm. Combine 2 tbsp lime juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir in remaining 3 tbsp oil and fold in herbs.

5 Scrape as much marinade off skewers as possible and cook on preheated grill for 6 to 8 minutes, turning once. Serve skewers with herb sauce.
