grilled shrimp and vegetables with rice

for a quick summertime meal, i often mix different combinations of fresh vegetables and add a protein, such as grilled shrimp or grilled chicken.  for this dish, i used white onion, red and yellow peppers, and green onions from my garden. i simply heated the vegetables in a splash of olive oil, and lightly seasoned with sea salt and pepper.  next, i grilled the shrimp on the stove top and mixed the two together.

i served the mixture over rice, although i could have added tomatoes and made this a delightful pasta topping.  when serving, i use much more of the shrimp and vegetables, compared to the amount of rice served per person.  the dish is so delicious that even eating without a starch would be perfectly acceptable.

served with a fresh mixed green salad, this summertime quick meal is both healthy and tasty.
