This weekend, we decided to make some tri-tip and shrimp on the barbecue.
I seasoned the shrimp with chipotle pepper and seasoned the tri-tip with a dry rub for porterhouse steaks that we bought at the farmers market.
I also cut up a few tomatoes and red onions which I put in a metal grilling basket. If you have a barbecue you should definitely invest in one of these baskets. They’re great for fish and vegetables.
The steak and shrimp didn’t take long to cook: about 15 minutes.
I garnished the plate with the tomatoes and onions and a side of Lime for the shrimp.
I also cooked a mix of Israeli Couscous and Quinoa and added salt, grape seed oil and garlic paste (1 tbsp) after it was fully cooked to give it a bit more flavor.
We just recently switched to grape seed oil because it costs about the same as olive oil and it’s very rich in antioxidants, Vitamin E, Vitamin C and beta-carotene.
