Herbed Shrimp on a Bed of Grilled Scallions

Basil, parsley and scallions were all in the farm share. In an effort to eat healthier I am cooking more fish and seafood and avoiding carbs. The white part of the onions were a bit overpowering with the shrimp but the greens were very tasty. I had also grilled some yellow squash with which the scallion whites tasted great.

Spicy Scallions
adapted from Food Network Magazine June 2012
1 bunch of scallions
Cayenne pepper
Cooking spray
For the shrimp:
Combine all the ingredients and marinate in refrigerator for up to 2 days. Grill the shrimp on a grill topper to prevent them from falling through into the flames or skewer prior to cooking. Alternatively, they can be cooking using a grill pan on a stovetop. They cook very quickly only 1-2 minutes per side depending on the size.
For the scallions
On a sheet of foil, spray the scallions lightly with cooking spray and sprinkle with a pinch of cayenne.  Form a packet. Grill over medium-high heat, about 15 minutes. Alternatively, cook in a 400 degree oven for 15 minutes.

To serve, remove the scallions from the foil and top with shrimp.
