Shrimp tacos, with an off the shelf caribean jerk marinade (thought I'd give it a taste)..Yum.
Serve with lemon butter!
on the less meaty side, I have been exploring veggies recently. A find, which to my surprise even my teenager professes to love -can you believe that?- is grilled brussels sprouts.
I cut them in two lengthwise so they are mostly flat. Spray them with EVOO. I use a (Costco) Santa Maria bbq spices mix sprinkled lightly on, but it'd probably work with just about anything. More citrusy spices mix might be good too.
I put a perforated veggie grill pan on the grill and leave it there for a while empty. Not too hot (as in 600F+) as they will quickly char, 500 might be better (still experimenting...). Bit of canola spray before adding the sprouts. Keep flipping over until the right amount of charring for you. (About 5 mins or so for me.) Don't overcook, keep them crunchy. Very good indeed. Nothing like the soggy miserable affairs you may remember being subjected to.
I get my sprouts from Costco in a bag, easy enough but they are much prettier on the stem.

What is your recipe for the pico? It looks hot if there is Serrano peppers in it. Also, what kind of flavor does the gurerro pepper add?
You should try my trick, John. Add black beans, corn, avocado and chili powder (optional). Looks like ****, but tastes awesome. It works as both a salsa and a salad.

Key ingredients, qty changes with every batch;
Hand chopped, in order;
4 to 6 bundles of green onions
1 whole onion
4 to 12 serrano chilis
1 to 2 yellow (chilis huerros) (these just add heat and a different flavor)
12 to 15 Roma tomatoes
1 clump of fresh cilantro diced
Garlic powder to taste
And depending on the juice content, 2 to ? of fresh squeezed lime.
Serranos are the best way to regulate the heat, My favoite chili for flavor and lack of the manana burn.
