Marinated shrimp grilled on the grill and served with roasted asparagus and peas. Very delicious! This shrimp recipe adapted from https://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/grilled-shrimp-skewers-charred-asparagus-snap-peas

Ingredients: 1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil, 1 oz (30 ml) low-sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon (10 ml) finely chopped garlic, 1 teaspoon (10 ml) finely chopped fresh ginger, 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped, 1½ pounds (720 g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined, 1 cup (250 ml) sugar snap peas, trimmed and halved diagonally, 1 pound (480 g) asparagus, trimmed and cut diagonally into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces, 2 teaspoons (10 ml) canola oil, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and jalapeno pepper. Mix well and set aside.

Place shrimp in a large bowl. Pour 2/3 of ginger-soy mixture over and toss well to coat, reserving remaining mixture. Cover shrimp mixture and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

In a large pot, boil water over medium-high heat. Add snap peas and asparagus. Cook in boiling water for 45 seconds, then remove from the pan and plunge into a bowl of ice water. Drain well.

Preheat your grill over medium-high heat. Remove marinated shrimp from the refrigerator and discard the marinade. Thread about 5 marinated shrimp onto each skewer. Lightly grease a grill rack with nonstick cooking spray.

Place skewers on the greased grill rack and cook for 3 minutes on each side, or until shrimp is pink.

Preheat a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add canola oil to the pan and swirl to coat well. Add cooked asparagus and peas and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned. Remove the skillet from the heat.

Stir in reserved olive oil mixture to asparagus mixture. Return the skillet to the heat and cook for a further 30 seconds. Remove asparagus mixture from the heat. Sprinkle with salt and basil. Serve with grilled shrimp.
