Grilled Red Snapper and Shrimp with Eggplant and Yellow Tomatoes // @2souschefs
"Just because the summer holiday is past us does not mean it is time to put up the grill until the first weekend in September. We have been on a major grilling kick going as far as par-grilling vegetables and proteins to reheat later in the week for quick and complete dinners or lunches when [...]
