Proteins

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Proteins

    In a large bowl, combine shrimp, chicken, and steak. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the proteins are marinating, wash and chop the bell peppers, onion, mushrooms, and tomatoes into bite-sized pieces.

  3. 3

    Prepare Lettuce

    Wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Tear them into large pieces to serve as a base for the dish.

Grilling

  1. 4

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 5

    Grill the Proteins

    Place the marinated shrimp, chicken, and steak on the grill. Cook the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side until fully cooked. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare or longer for desired doneness. Grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes.

  3. 6

    Grill the Vegetables

    While the proteins are resting, toss the chopped bell peppers, onion, mushrooms, and tomatoes in the remaining olive oil. Grill the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and slightly charred.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Assemble the Dish

    On a large serving plate, create a bed of lettuce. Slice the grilled chicken and steak, and arrange them on top of the lettuce. Add the grilled shrimp and vegetables on top.

  2. 8

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle shredded cheese generously over the top of the assembled proteins and vegetables.
