Cooking Steps

1
  • Cut potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Add potatoes and 1 tbsp oil to an unlined baking sheet. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, use 2 baking sheets, with 1 tbsp oil per sheet.) Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
  • Roast in the middle of the oven, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden-brown, 25-28 min. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, roast in the top and middle of the oven, rotating sheets halfway through.)
  • Add half the garlic spread to the baking sheet with potatoes. Toss to coat.
2
  • Meanwhile, finely chop chives.
  • Halve tomatoes.
  • Halve zucchini lengthwise, then halve each piece lengthwise again. (NOTE: You should have 8 zucchini spears.)
  • Core, then quarter peppers.
  • Add zucchini, peppers and half the pesto to a large bowl. Toss to combine.
  • Remove and discard outer layer of iceberg lettuce. Halve lettuce head, leaving core intact (NOTE: Lettuce will be cored and quartered later).
3
  • Using a strainer, drain and rinse shrimp, then pat dry with paper towels.
  • Add shrimp, remaining pesto and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to a medium bowl, then toss to coat. Thread 6 or 7 shrimp onto each wooden skewer.
4
  • Add zucchini and peppers to one side of the grill. Close lid and grill, flipping halfway through, until tender-crisp, 8-10 min. (NOTE: If zucchini cooks faster than peppers, transfer zucchini to a plate and cover to keep warm.)
  • Meanwhile, spread remaining garlic spread on the cut sides of the lettuce halves.
  • Add lettuce to the other side of the grill. Close lid and grill, until marked, 1-2 min.
  • When done, transfer lettuce, zucchini and peppers to a cutting board.

In dev: Is it too difficult to grill lettuce? Should this step be omitted and do a regular wedge salad?

5
  • Add shrimp to the grill. Close lid and grill, flipping once, until shrimp are cooked through, 4-6 min.

In dev: Does this timing work to get the veggies tender-crisp or should the shrimp be skewered and cook veggies separate?

6
  • Cut grilled veggies into 1-inch pieces, then toss together with roasted potatoes on the baking sheet from step 1.
  • Cut lettuce wedges into quarters.
  • Divide skewers, potato-veggie medley and lettuce wedges between plates.
  • Top lettuce wedges with tomatoes, crispy shallots and chives.
  • Drizzle ranch dressing over lettuce.
