Sometimes a PB&J just gets, well, boring. Especially on weekends, when I’m home, it’s nice to make something for lunch that’s tasty, but still quick.
This is yet another Martha Stewart recipe. It’s not something I would have though of on my own – cucumbers and artichokes with grilled shrimp? – but it was pretty tasty.
The great thing about shrimp is it’s so quick to cook. Just a few minutes on the George Foreman grill. Add a pile of vegetables and you’ve got a great, summery lunch.
