Dinner: Shrimp & Veggie Kabobs on the BBQ

Tonight's dinner came together at the last minute. Originally I was going to finish making my tomato sauce and turkey meatballs, but realized that there wouldn't be enough time with spin class at 7pm. So, we bumped the sauce to Wednesday, and then on the way home from picking up Dylan from work , we decided to hit the Fishery for some type of fish or seafood. The shrimp looked great and we thought they would make for some mean kabobs when combined with the zucchini, portabella mushrooms, carrots and tomatoes that were relaxing in our fridge (well, everyone but the tomatoes - never ever refrigerate a tomato!)

I took off on my bike to class while Dylan marinated the shrimp in a spicy concoction. Two hours later, I was showered, the kabobs were put together and the bbq was fired up. My grill-master husband was outside for 14 minutes precisely and then came in with a platter of shrimp and veggies that stopped me in my tracks. We didn't get a picture of the intact kabobs, but they were very handsome. A sprinkling of CSA cilantro completed the meal. Well, that and Haagan Daz coffee and chocolate ice cream bars for dessert ;)
