Equipment

  • Grill basket and a grill. If you don't have a grill basket, see the note at the bottom of the recipe

Ingredients

  • 1½ pounds shrimp (peeled and deveined. Use wild caught shrimp, if available)
  • 1 summer squash (cut into large chunks)
  • 1 zucchini (cut into large chunks)
  • 1 red pepper (cut into large chunks)
  • 1 red onion (peeled and cut into large chunks)
  • 1 tablespoon dried herbs (oregano, basil, rosemary, thyme, etc.)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ cup olive oil

Instructions

  • Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl, and place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to three hours, depending on how much time you have
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high, and place a grill basket on top of the grates.  Let the basket pre-heat for 5 minutes
  • Place the shrimp mixture into the basket, and cook until the shrimp and vegetables are done to your liking.  If the shrimp is done, and you’d like your vegetables a bit more charred, removed the shrimp with a set of tongs, and continue cooking the vegetables until they’re cooked to your liking

Notes

Serve over rice or couscous
 
  • If you don’t have a grill basket, try the following:
    • skewer the shrimp
    • cut the zucchini and summer squash in half lengthwise
    • cut the red pepper into quarters or halves
    • cut the peeled onion into quarters, and skewer (or toothpick) each quarter
    • oil and season these together, and place them individually on the grill to cook
  • You can also use fresh herbs
