Directions: |
Directions:Marinate shrimp and chicken with marinade ingredients above for 2-3 hours minimum.
To grill vegetables, use a stovetop grill pan sprayed with olive oil cooking spray. Brush all vegetables with a little bit of olive oil prior to grilling, and salt & pepper to taste. Cut zucchini into long ¼ in. strips and grill on both sides until grill marks appear and zucchini is slightly soft. Grill corn until grill marks appear and corn is slightly soft. Grill asparagus and green onions until slightly soft. Cut red onion into ¼ in. rounds and grill until soft. Cut all vegetables into bite size pieces and mix together with the herbs. Let rest.
After allowing shrimp & chicken to marinade, take out and discard marinade. Using a grill or stovetop grill pan, grill chicken &shrimp on both sides until done (chicken about 4-5 mins/side and shrimp only 1-2 mins/side). Cut both into bite size pieces. Add to vegetable mixture and then add dressing and the cup of Mesculin Greens and serve on individual plates, garnish with finely chopped parsley and green onions, mixed together (about 2 green onions and ¼ cup parsley.) Serves 4 to 6. |
