BBQ Shrimp
You will need, 1lb precooked, thawed shrimp. Sesame seed oil. Soy sauce. A whole lemon. Bell peppers,1 red and 1 green. 1 sweet onion. 1 clove peeled and minced garlic. Ground black pepper. Spray can of olive oil.
Fire up the grill, allow grill to preheat at least 20 minutes. Make sure you have lightly sprayed the grill with olive oil; this will prevent food from sticking as much.
Marinade:
¼ cup Sesame Seed Oil
¼ cup Soy Sauce
1 tsp minced garlic
Black pepper
Mix all the above items in a bowl, add black pepper to taste.
Set aside
Slice bell peppers and onion in sections large enough to fit a skewer.
Skewer shrimp, peppers, and onion.
Spray all items lightly w/olive oil.
Slice lemon in half.
Ok, now you are ready to cook. Place shrimp and vegetables on grill, place lemon cut side up on grill. Cook lemon until it is warm throughout (this process will make the lemon sweeter) liberally squeeze lemon over shrimp while cooking. Baste all items at least twice with your marinade. As the shrimp are precooked your cook time for them is greatly reduced. Remove from grill when your vegetables are tender.
Serve with a tossed green salad with a light dressing.
Serves approximately 2.
For the vegans, shrimp may be substituted with tofu. Make sure however, that you have oiled the grill well to prevent sticking, I recommend only turning the tofu once during cooking.
*Tip of the day; if you don’t have a wire brush to clean that grill, loosely ball up some tin foil.
