Equipment

Ingredients
- 1 bunch flat leaf parsley (most of the stems removed)
- 1 lemon

- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 3 to 4 cloves garlic

Instructions
- Put the parsley in a food process or blender. Use a microplane grater to zest the lemon, lime, and orange. Add about 1/2 tablespoon of zest from each of the lemon, lime, and orange. Then add about a tablespoon or 2 of the fresh squeezed juice from each citrus fruit.
- Add the olive oil, garlic, kosher salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Blend until smooth.

- Preheat the grill to medium for a few minutes. Grill the skewers 5 minutes total, flipping halfway through, brush with more gremolata as they grill.
- Serve with extra gremolata on the side for dipping. Note: Extra gremolata can be stored in a covered container in the freezer for up to 2 months.
