BBQ Shrimp Creole Recipe

Prepare 4 cups of rice and keep warm.  Prepare your grill to be very hot. Be sure it is well oiled so veggies don’t stick. Have a large flameproof casserole dish ready for grilled vegetables. Bring a large cutting board and a sharp knife to the grill so final prep can be done while veggies cook. Prep Shrimp by deveining, detailing, and peeling.  Rinse and place in a bowl.
Toss with shrimp:
