Cooking Steps

Prep and cook orzo
1
  • Before starting, lightly oil the grill, then preheat to medium-high (approx. 500°F). Wash and dry all produce. 
  • To a medium pot, add 6 cups water and 1 tsp salt (use same for 4 servings). Cover and bring to a boil over high. 
  • To the boiling water, add orzo. Cook uncovered for 10-12 min, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite.
  • Strain orzo, then return to the pot, off heat. Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then stir to coat. (TIP: We love to use olive oil in this recipe!) Cover and set aside.
  • Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 5 min.
Prep and make lemon aioli
2
  • Meanwhile, cut zucchini into 1/4-inch slices lengthwise.
  • Core, then quarter pepper.
  • To a small plate, add zucchini, peppers and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil. Season with 1 tsp (2 tsp) Mediterranean Spice Blend, salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
  • Peel, then finely grate garlic.
  • Zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges.
  • To a small bowl, add mayo, half the lemon zest, 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) garlic and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) water. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
Marinate and skewer shrimp
3
  • In a medium bowl, combine tomato sauce base, remaining garlic, remaining Mediterranean Spice Blend and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil.
  • Drain and rinse shrimp, then pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper, then add to the bowl with marinade. Toss to fully coat each shrimp.
  • Drain wooden skewers, then thread shrimp onto wooden skewers. Place assembled shrimp skewers on a plate. 
  • Discard any excess marinade.
Grill veggies
4
  • Add peppers to the grill. Close lid and grill for 3-5 min per side, flipping once, until tender.
  • Add zucchini to the grill. Close lid and grill for 2-3 min per side, flipping once, until tender.
  • Transfer grilled veggies to the same plate to cool slightly.
Grill shrimp skewers
5
  • On one side of the grill, arrange shrimp. Close lid and grill for 1-3 min per side, until opaque.** (NOTE: Don't overcrowd your grill! Grill shrimp once veggies are done if there isn't enough space on the grill.)
  • Transfer shrimp skewers to a clean plate. Cover with foil to keep warm.
Finish and serve
6
  • Roughly chop grilled veggies.
  • Add chopped veggies, lemon juice and remaining lemon zest to the pot with orzo (from step 1). Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
  • Divide grilled veggie orzo between bowls.
  • Remove shrimp from skewers, then arrange over top of bowls.
  • Drizzle lemon aioli (from step 2) over top.
  • Squeeze a lemon wedge over top, if you like.
