Grilled shrimp skewers with bell pepper and onions. Marinate the shrimp with olive oil, cilantro, garlic, pepper and green onions a little lime juice for about an hour. Then skewer them up with generous slices of pepper and onions and grill them for 3 minutes a side.
The beauty is that the cold shrimp leftovers make a great next-day snack by the pool.
