Drescription

These healthy grilled shrimp and mini bell pepper kebabs come together in just 30 minutes, so they're great for weeknight dinners. A bag of coleslaw mix is a time-saving meal starter. Here, we make it our own by mixing in grilled red onion and crushed pita chips. A homemade herb-feta dressing both coats the slaw and sauces the kebabs.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • ⅓ cup chopped scallions
  • ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
  • ⅓ cup neutral oil, such as canola or avocado plus 1 tablespoon, divided
  • 1 pound raw shrimp (21-25 count), peeled and deveined
  • 24 mini bell peppers (15 ounces)
  • 1 small red onion, cut into quarters
  • 1 (10 ounce) package coleslaw mix (with carrots and red cabbage)
  • 1 ½ cups pita chips, crushed

Directions

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high.
  2. Place parsley, scallions, feta, vinegar and 1/3 cup oil in a mini food processor; blend until mostly smooth. Set aside.
  3. Thread 3 shrimp and 3 mini peppers on each of 8 bamboo skewers. Brush the kebabs and onion with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Grill the kebabs until the shrimp turn pink and are opaque in the center and the peppers are lightly charred, about 3 minutes per side. Grill the onion wedges until slightly softened and charred, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the grill.
  4. Reserve 1/4 cup of the dressing. Combine slaw mix, pita chips and the remaining dressing in a large bowl. When the onion is cool enough to handle, thinly slice and toss with the slaw mixture.
  5. Serve the slaw and kebabs with the reserved dressing.

Chicken Feta & Cucumber Couscous Bowls

These quick chicken-and-veggie bowls are endlessly adaptable depending on what you have on hand. Beyond cucumber and tomato, you could try thinly sliced carrots, steamed broccoli florets and zucchini or roasted cauliflower. You could also substitute flaked salmon or sliced cooked lamb for the chicken. Treat the couscous like pasta, simmering until tender and then draining. Unlike most pastas, you'll want to rinse and drain the couscous so the grains don't clump together.
