Cooking Steps

Cook rice
1
  • Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Lightly oil the grill.
  • While you prep, preheat the grill to medium-high (approx. 500°F).
  • To a medium pot, add broth concentrate 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt. Bring to a boil over high.
  • Meanwhile, peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
  • To the boiling water, stir in rice and half the garlic. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 13-15 min, until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
Prep
2
  • Meanwhile, zest lemon, then juice half. Cut remaining lemon into wedges.
  • Roughly chop parsley.
  • Halve zucchini lengthwise.
  • Core, then halve pepper.
  • Core, then halve jalapeño. (TIP: We suggest gloves when prepping jalapeños!)
Make lemon-garlic butter
3
  • Heat a small non-stick pan over medium-low.
  • When hot, add remaining garlic and 3 tbsp (6 tbsp) butter. Cook for 3-5 min stirring often, until fragrant.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Stir in lemon zest, lemon juice and half the parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
Prep veggies and salmon for grill
4
  • To a large bowl, add zucchini, peppers, jalapeños and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
  • Pat salmon dry with paper towels. Season with Cajun Spice Blend, salt and pepper. Drizzle 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil over top. Toss to coat.
  • Head out to grill with veggies and salmon.
Grill veggies and salmon
5
  • To one side of the grill, add veggies. Close lid and grill 3-5 min per side, flipping once, until tender-crisp.
  • Transfer veggies to a plate to cool slightly. 
  • On the grill, place foil, then arrange salmon on top of foil, skin-side down. Close lid and grill for 6-9 min, until salmon is cooked through.**
Finish and serve
6
  • Cut zucchini into 1/2-inch half-moons.
  • Cut peppers into 1/2-inch pieces. 
  • Add rice, grilled veggies and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter to the same large bowl (from step 4). Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
  • Divide jewelled rice and shrimp skewers between plates. Sprinkle remaining parsley over top.
  • Serve lemon-garlic butter on the side for dipping.
  • Squeeze a lemon wedge over top, if you like.

Disregard instructions to soak skewers.

If you've opted for salmon, pat salmon dry with paper towel. Season in the same way the recipe instructs you to season the shrimp. Disregard instructions to skewer.  On the grill, place foil, then arrange salmon on top of foil, skin-side down. Close lid and grill for 6-9 min, until salmon is cooked through.**
