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
