-------------------------------------------------------------------
This is one of my faves since we've had rosemary growing like a bush in the yard:

Choose several larger stalk lengths of rosemary, wash and strip some of the leaves, leaving the end and a few on the stalk for flavor.

Cut any veggies that grill well or bake well into 1 1/2-2 inch cubes or sections. I use:

Red bell pepper
Yellow bell pepper
Onion
Zucchini
*Mushrooms (Cut large ones in half, shitake in pieces, leave crimini whole)
Eggplant

"Skewer" veggies with rosemary stalk, alternating with shrimp.
Marinate 15-30 minutes or longer in
2 Tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons balsamic or red wine vinegar
fresh ground pepper
1 teaspoon fresh oregano
(You can use Zesty Italian dressing for a great short cut here.)

Great alternative: Put shrimp and scallops (or other meat of choice) between the vegetables for a nice appetizer or main dish.

Grill until veggies are tender crisp.

*(Another tasty treat is to wrap the mushrooms in about 1/3 slice bacon before skewering. I microwave about 4 slices of bacon on newspaper and paper towels until it's about 2/3 done. About 30-45 seconds per slice.)
