Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, coriander, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
Step 2
Add shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Step 3
Preheat grill to medium-high heat (400°F). Oil the grates lightly to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Thread shrimp onto skewers, leaving small gaps between each piece for even cooking.
Step 5
Grill shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes total.
Step 6
Transfer to a serving plate and let rest for 2 minutes.
Step 7
Drizzle tahini sauce over grilled shrimp and garnish with fresh parsley and mint.
Step 8
