Method
| 1 |  | For Grilled Shrimp and Vegetables, add TABASCO® Green Jalapeño Pepper Sauce, olive oil, salt and pepper together in a bowl, and mix thoroughly with a whisk. Divide mixture into 2 bowls. In 1 bowl, add all vegetable ingredients and toss. Once all vegetables are coated, set aside. In the other bowl, add shrimp, toss to coat well and set aside. |
 |  |  |
| 2 |  | Preheat the grill. Once hot, cook all vegetables for approximately 45 seconds on each side, or until half cooked, and then let cool in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. |
 |  |  |
| 3 |  | For Spicy Mint Dressing, combine all ingredients in a blender, except whipping cream, and puree for 2 minutes. Add cream and puree again for 30 seconds. Divide into 2 bowls and set aside. |
 |  |  |
| 4 |  | Cook shrimp on the grill for 1-1/2 minutes on each side, sprinkling a little water to cook faster without drying the shrimp. Mix cold vegetables in 1 of the bowls of mint dressing, toss and set aside. Toss grilled shrimp in the other bowl of mint dressing; set aside. |
 |  |  |
| 5 |  | For each serving, place approximately 2 pieces of each vegetable on plate. Top with 4 pieces of shrimp and garnish with mint leaves. Serve immediately. |
