Shrimp Skewers, Tomato, Basil, 3 Cheese, Ravioli, and Squash

Since today was Jake's day off, he made dinner. We haven't been cooking as much lately as normal. With the heat and Jake's work schedule it just isn't worth it.

We had bought the pasta at Grocery Outlet for $1.99, the shrimp was $3.99, and a good friend Robyn brought the veggies over today.

First of all he, marinated the shrimp in olive oil for 30 minutes, then he placed them on wooden skewers. Greek seasoning, basil, oregano, thyme, and rosemary. then he got a large pot of water boiling for the pasta, He also preheated the George Foreman grill.

He heated a deep skillet, added 1 tbs olive oil about 10 cherry tomatoes, and salt, then covered it until the tomatoes burst then added 1 chopped red onion, 3 mini carrots grated, 4 mini sweet peppers chopped. Next he added 1/2 cup white wine (wine was bought at Grocery Outlet for $1.99). He let the wine cook off then added the juice of 1 lemon, 2 cups of chicken broth, 2 tbs butter, 4 cloves minced garlic, basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, Greek seasoning, and 1/4 tsp grated nutmeg. He let that simmer until reduced by 1/2.

Meanwhile, he placed the Ravioli in the boiling water, then placed the shrimp skewers on the grill. For him dinner is done, but just for me he placed some zucchini and sunburst squash on the grill. For the squash he put it in some olive oil, oregano, basil, and Greek seasonings.
