Grilled Cowboy Shrimp Salad


For a quickie dinner that still turns out delish...

Fresh shrimp, doused in a cilantro-lime salad dressing. Throw those babies over the grill and be sure to flip them often so they don't get too dry and burnt. Seafood grills super fast. (learned that lesson the hard way last week with my over-cooked tilapia)

Pair that with some Cowboy Salad

(all raw)
2 cups Chopped Red, Yellow, and Green Peppers
1/2 cup chopped Red Onion
1 large cucumber, chopped
a bit of EVOO
some Cayenne Peppa
some taco seasoning
teensy bit of suga (cane)
a few sprigs of cilantro (I use a lot)
salt, peppa

Mix it all and voila! yumminess

Now, put a heaping scoop of the Cowboy Salad over some Mixed Greens and then throw those grilled shrimps on top. One scoop of salsa (I used Cherry Salsa, so good straight from Michigan!), some Cholula Hot Sauce (duh), and a hefty few squeezes of fresh lime atop all of that.

I also had some grilled corn on the cob. It's pretty simple. Keep it in the husk (with a single slit in the husk) and flip it continually. It's good to get grill marks on the husk. I found that it took quite a while to get that corn to be fully grilled, so be sure that you allot enough time.

Oh, and of course a nice orangey beer (I had Oberon).

fresh n good :)
