Tips

Substitute crab for shrimp if desired. Use your favorite veggies in place of asparagus and red peppers. You can also boil, sauté or steam vegetables


Directions

Combine marinade ingredients and whisk. Marinate shrimp 30 min. Cook on grill. Place in bowl.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Spread asparagus on baking sheet, whole peppers, and unpeeled garlic cloves. Lightly coat with all veggies with olive oil. Roast in oven 20 minutes. Place peppers in ziplock bag to ease peeling. Slice red bell and asparagus and add to bowl with shrimp.

Finely chop roasted jalapeño, removing seeds and veins if you want less heat. In food processor place ricotta, milk, torn basil leaves, roasted garlic (you should be able to pop them right out of the skin) and jalapeño. Process.

Add creamy sauce to shrimp and roasted veggies, stir to mix. Stir in sliced green onions, sliced olives and crumbled feta cheese.
