Method

Shrimp Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the jumbo shrimp and toss to coat evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Shrimp

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are opaque and have grill marks. Remove from grill and set aside.

Rice Preparation

  1. 3

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice and salt, stir once, and reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

Vegetable Preparation

  1. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced bell pepper and zucchini, and season with salt and black pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
