Steps:
- For the grilled shrimp marinade: Toss the shrimp in a large bowl with the olive oil, garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Let marinate in the fridge for an hour.
- Preheat half of a grill to medium-high heat, or around 350 degrees F.
- For the squash: Toss the squash with the olive oil and some salt and pepper and place in a disposable aluminum foil pan. Place the pan over the indirect side of the grill and cook, covered, stirring once, until the squash is just tender, but not browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Grill the shrimp over direct heat until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side, flipping once.
- For the lemon vinaigrette: Whisk together the lemon juice, honey, shallots and Dijon in a large bowl. While whisking continuously, slowly drizzle in the grapeseed oil, then the olive oil, until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper.
- To assemble the salad: Toss together the squash, corn, snap peas, sunflower seeds, Aleppo, half of the vinaigrette and season with salt and pepper. Taste and check for seasoning, adding more vinaigrette as desired. The salad can be kept cold until ready to serve. Before serving, gently fold in the basil and cilantro. Then plate with the shrimp arranged on top.

Steps:
- 1. Soak 24 10-inch wooden skewers in water to cover for 6 to 8 hours. (This helps prevent their burning on the grill.)
- 2. Combine all the marinade ingredients in a large bowl.
- 3. Rinse the shrimp under cold water. Drain and pat dry. Toss shrimp in the marinade and let rest for 30 minutes.
- 4. Prepare hot coals for grilling or preheat the broiler.
- 5. Thread 16 skewers with 3 shrimp each and 8 skewers with 2 shrimp each. Grill or broil 4 inches from the heat source for 3 minutes per side, brushing once on each side with extra marinade.
- 6. To serve, place a lemon half in the bottom of 8 wine glasses, cut-side down. Into each lemon half, stick 2 skewers with 3 shrimp and 1 skewer with 2 shrimp, balancing them. Insert a rosemary sprig into each lemon half (using an extra skewer to jab a hole, if necessary). Serve the glasses atop small plates with a bowl of my Lemon Garlic Mayonnaise for dipping.
Tips:
- Choose the right shrimp: Look for shrimp that are fresh and have a firm texture. Avoid shrimp that are mushy or have a slimy texture.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for squash, but you can use any vegetables that you like. Some other good options include zucchini, bell peppers, and onions.
- Don't overcrowd the grill: When grilling the shrimp and vegetables, make sure to give them plenty of space so that they can cook evenly.
- Cook the shrimp and vegetables over medium-high heat: This will help to prevent them from drying out.
- Season the shrimp and vegetables well: Use a variety of spices and herbs to flavor the shrimp and vegetables. Some good options include garlic, paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
- Serve the shrimp and vegetables immediately: This dish is best served hot off the grill.
Conclusion:
This grilled lemon shrimp with squash is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The shrimp is juicy and flavorful, and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
