Grilled Shrimp & Red Potatoes

Grilled Shrimp
(adapted from a Bobby Flay recipe)

1 lb large shrimp - deveined, shelled, thawed (if frozen)
1/3 c. olive oil
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 Tbls. Fresh Oregano, chopped
2 Tbls. Fresh Flat Leaf Parsley, chopped
2 Tbls. Fresh Basil, chopped
1 tsp. Red Pepper Flakes
salt & cracked pepper to taste
Combine marinage ingredients in a glass bowl. Add shrimp. Allow shrimp to hang out in marinade for up to 1 hour. The less time it marniades, the less spicy it will be. Skewer and grill 3 minutes each side or until pink.




Grilled Red Potatoes

1.5 lbs Red Potatoes, quartered
Drizzle of Olive Oil
Fresh Herbs, chopped
Garlic Powder to taste
Salt & Pepper to taste

Place quartered potatoes in a microwave safe bowl. Cook for about 4-6 minutes or until slightly cooked. You still want them a little hard, but not cooked all the way through. Drizzle olive oil over potatoes. Add herbs and seasonings and toss. Skewer and grill 4-5 minutes each side until nice and golden brown and cooked through.
