roasted peppers & shrimp
Author: 
Yields: 4 portions Approx. prep time: 30–40 min
 
Ingredients
  • 3 large Village Farms sweet bells® peppers
  • ¼ cup Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 Red onion
  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts
  • 1 lb Hand-peeled shrimp (cooked)
  • ¼ cup Fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • 1 Lemon, zest
  • 1 Lime, zest
  • ½ cup Chili vinaigrette
  • ½ tsp Black pepper
  • ¼ tsp Sea salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat a grill pan or bbq to high heat.
  2. Peel the Brussels sprouts down to smaller leaves and toss with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Prepare your sweet bell peppers by cutting them in halves and removing the core and seeds.
  4. Peel the onions and cut them in half. Slice them “julienned” into strips of a similar size to the peppers.
  5. Ready a large mixing bowl, pour half of the chili-lime vinaigrette into the bottom.
  6. Grill the Brussels sprouts for 4–5 minutes, enough to get some good char, then transfer to the bowl.
  7. Grill the sweet bell peppers and onions for 6–8 minutes, then cut them into “julienne” strips (approx ¼" thick) and transfer to the bowl.
  8. Add the shrimp and parsley to the warm salad. Zest and juice the orange and lime over top and toss.
  9. Taste and add more salt, pepper, and vinaigrette as needed.
