Instructions
- Prep the grill: Heat grill to medium-high (about 400–450°F). If you have a grill basket or skewers, set them out.
- Prep shrimp: Pat dry 12 oz shrimp. Toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, zest of 1 lime, and 1 tsp honey (optional).
- Prep vegetables: Cut ~12 oz broccoli into florets. Slice 2 bell peppers and 1/2 onion into thick strips. Toss veggies with 1 tbsp olive oil and 1/2 tsp kosher salt.
- Grill vegetables first: Grill broccoli and pepper/onion mix (in a basket or directly on grates) until charred-tender, turning occasionally—broccoli 8–12 minutes, peppers/onions 6–10 minutes.
- Grill shrimp: Place shrimp on skewers or in a basket. Grill until just opaque and lightly charred, about 2–3 minutes per side.
- Finish with lime: Squeeze juice of 1 lime over the shrimp and vegetables right off the grill. Taste and add a pinch more salt if needed.
- Serve: Divide grilled veggies between two plates and top with the grilled shrimp. (Optional: serve with warmed tortillas or rice if you want extra carbs.)
Health notes: ~550–700 kcal per serving (depends on oil and any rice/tortillas you add). Very high protein and veggie-forward; great for a lower-carb dinner.
Drink pairing: Grilled shrimp and a touch of citrus/smoke pair beautifully with zippy whites or a very light red. - Best styles: Albariño; Sauvignon Blanc; dry rosé - Georgia-friendly pick: Chateau Elan Rosé (GA) or a crisp Spanish Albariño.
