Bring more to the table when grilling than brats and burgers with this tasty (and healthy) dish.
Ingredients:
Marinade/Dressing:
3/4 cup Pompeian Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 cup Pompeian Red Wine Vinegar
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
Skewers:
24 large raw, headless, peeled shrimp, with tails on (about 1 pound)
24 whole green onions, trimmed to 6 inches in length
24 cherry tomatoes
2 poblano chili peppers, seeded and cut into 24 pieces
8 12-inch bamboo skewers, soaked in water
Rice:
3 cups hot cooked brown rice
15 ounces canned black beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
3 teaspoons grated lemon zest
Preparation:
1. Whisk marinade ingredients in small bowl. Reserve 1/2 cup mixture in separate bowl and set aside. Place shrimp in a resealable plastic bag, pour marinade over shrimp, seal tightly and coat well. Refrigerate 30 minutes, turning frequently.

3. Preheat grill on high heat. Brush skewers with reserved marinade and cook 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until shrimp are opaque in center.
