Equipment

  • measuring spoons
  • A small bowl
  • A large bowl or dish
  • Paper towels
  • 4 to 5 metal skewers
  • A pair of tongs

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¼ teaspoon kosher salt divided (Diamond Crystal brand)
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin
  • teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 teaspoon oil avocado or olive (divided)
  • 16 ounces large raw shrimp peeled and deveined, about 20 shrimp
  • 2 pieces bell peppers
  • 2 small to medium zucchini
  • 4 cups cooked rice white, brown, or cauliflower rice

Instructions
 

  • First make the seasoning blend. Use measuring spoons to measure out ¾ teaspoon of Diamond Crystal kosher salt, the smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, and ground black pepper, then combine them in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Get out a large bowl (or I like to use a glass casserole dish) and place the raw shrimp in it. Dry the shrimp off using paper towels.
  • Before you season the shrimp, measuring out 2 teaspoons of oil and place it in a small bowl.
  • Sprinkle the seasoning over the shrimp and stir everything together with your hand. Then drizzle the oil over the shrimp.
  • Take out one metal skewer and gently push a shrimp onto it, making sure to get the skewer’s point as close to the middle of the shrimp as possible.
  • Place the same size of shrimp together on the same skewer.
  • First wash and dry off the zucchini and bell peppers. Slice zucchini length-wise into two long pieces.
  • Remove the tops of the peppers and slice both bell peppers in half from top to bottom.
  • Place the cut zucchini and bell peppers in a bowl. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon oil and sprinkle ½ teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt.
  • Heat the grill to 350 degrees F, then place the veggies on the grill.
  • After 4 minutes, place the shrimp skewers on the grill and cook for another 2 minutes.
  • Flip both the shrimp and vegetables and cook the shrimp for another 2 minutes.
  • Remove everything from the grill and divide into 4 portions.

Notes

I recommend using peeled and deveined shrimp for this recipe. Don't use already cooked shrimp. Don't try to cram the shrimp onto your skewer. You can use wooden skewers, but I recommend using metal skewers. Prep the vegetables after the shrimp.
