You have got to try the shrimp and veggie situation.
The perfect, super easy summer meal,
all on the grill, protein and veggies all in one.
Let's go.
A little bit of white wine here.
Garlic.
There's always garlic.
Can't make a Mediterranean recipe without garlic.
What the heck?
Rosemary.
Pinch of red pepper flakes.
So much flavor.
A little bit of smoked Spanish paprika.
This will give it a nice, well, smoky taste.
But not too overwhelming, just enough.
Pinch of salt.
And then we're gonna use zest of one whole lemon.
Citrus and seafood, great combo.
The lemon zest has a lot of flavor.
And juice of three lemons.
Oh yeah, you want everything to be well seasoned.
Everything is beautiful and bright.
So we're gonna go in.
Just cup your hand to catch any seeds.
You're making a delicious citrusy sauce.
So you zest two lemons and you juice three of them.
Some honey.
Ooh, I love the balance here.
The honey will also do such a good job
of giving your shrimp some color when it cooks.
Some good Greek extra virgin olive oil.
I'm using our organic Koraneki extra virgin olive oil
from themediterraneandish.com.
Really good stuff.
You want a nice, healthy amount.
I'm gonna use my baby whisk here.
Mix, mix, mixy.
All right, now we're gonna chop up some veggies.
Set this aside for a sec.
I love a simple recipe like this.
It's also packed with flavor.
So we're gonna start with two zucchini.
And then we're gonna cut in half through the middle,
the long way.
Ta-da.
Now we wanna do what we call half moons.
So that's just simply going crosswise and slicing.
It's important that you're using a nice big bowl
because everything is going in it to mix.
So we're going in with the zucchini.
Then we have some bell peppers.
I'm gonna use one red and one green.
We're gonna cut thinly.
So we're just gonna go around the stem.
That's the easiest way to core.
Remove these ribs.
And then just thinly slice.
Doesn't have to be perfect.
All right, going in with the red bell pepper.
Green bell pepper, same thing.
Easy peasy.
And we've got some onion.
Go ahead and mix the veggies.
There's enough sauce here for the veggies and the shrimp.
You don't have to season the shrimp separately.
There's enough seasoning here,
but I always like to make sure everything tastes good.
So a nice dash of salt here and pepper for the shrimp.
Toss it and then bring it right in here in this bowl.
The shrimp has already been peeled and deveined.
When I say deveined,
I mean this part here has been taken out.
We're gonna toss this whole party together.
That's why a nice big bowl is helpful.
See this juicy goodness?
That is looking nice.
Now we're gonna get the grill heated
to medium high, like 400 degrees.
Somebody will do that.
I'm not sure who, but somebody will.
That is saba skewer.
About six pieces of foil.
You're gonna put the foil down
and then you're gonna put a piece of parchment.
Now you're gonna grab a bit of this lovely shrimp
with the vegetables.
And then don't forget to grab a little bit of that juice.
Drizzle on top.
This beautiful sauce here.
Make a nice, lovely pouch
to encase the shrimp and the veggies nicely.
Just like so.
Now try this again.
All right, ready for the grill.
I'm gonna line these babies up
and it will take very little time
to cook these shrimp and veggies.
Let's go.
Let's see.
Shrimp doesn't take very long to cook
and we sliced up those veggies very thinly.
So it should be ready, you guys.
Take a look here.
Look at this juicy goodness.
The shrimp's turned nice and pink.
Oh yeah, this is ready.
This recipe easily makes six of these.
I made a couple extras.
All right, here we are.
These guys.
Ooh, it's like Christmas, you know, opening a package.
Little parsley garnish.
Some lemon.
Yeah.
Ready for it.
And I love that everything
is already contained in here like, look.
You know, cleanup will be a breeze.
Very easy.
Here we go.
Beautiful saucy shrimp.
Nice and plump.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
This is good.
Grilled shrimp and veggies in beautiful foil packets.
This is the meal for the summer.
Make it ASAP.
