A pescitarian meal

This weekend we had some of our wonderful neighbors over for dinner.  The wife is a pescitarian and so this presented an interesting challenge. I never cook fish or vegetarian meals.  So here's my first attempt. It was relatively easy and turned out well. I only have this picture of the shrimp and the vegetables but here's the menu:

Grilled Garlic Herb Shrimp Skewers

Grilled Vegetable Skewers

Grilled Pineapple Skewers

Cilantro-Lime Rice {recipe from last May, substituted Vegetable broth for Chicken}

Butter Lettuce Salad with French Vinaigrette

The Recipe:

• 2 pounds large shrimp (16 to 20 per pound), peeled, deveined, & tails on
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium yellow onion, small-diced
• 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
• 1/4 cup minced fresh basil
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup good olive oil
• 1 lemon, juiced

Directions

Combine all the ingredients and allow them to marinate for 24-48 hours.  I added a little more olive oil and lemon juice to be sure all was thoroughly covered.

Skewer the shrimp, 4 or 5 shrimp on a 12-inch skewer. Heat a grill with coals and brush the grill with oil to prevent the shrimp from sticking. Grill the shrimp for only 1 1/2 minutes on each side.
