Grilled Shrimp and veggies with black beans and salsa

Finally!  It is warm enough to grill!

Grilled Shrimp
2 lbs shrimp - peeled and deveined (I either buy them on skewers or put them on skewers)

Marinate shrimp in following marinade for 20 minutes and then grill

1/2 cup olive oil
juice of 1 lemon
2 TBSP hot sauce
3 cloves garlic minced
1 TBSP tomato paste or sauce (I have also used ketchup)
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper


With our yummy shrimp, we also grilled onions, asparagus tossed in olive oil, garlic and sea salt and skewers of grape tomatoes.  We made black beans and salsa by combining 1 can of rinsed and drained black beans with 1 cup of salsa and warming on stovetop.  The girls had corn on the cob and we made some roasted baby portobello mushrooms (see previous recipe).  We definitely enjoyed our taste of summer.
