Indian-Spiced Grilled Shrimp and Okra

Enjoyed this a lot with summer corn, grilled sourdough bread, and a few bell pepper pieces and onions.  I only wish I'd doubled the spices, as they were very faint.  Great idea for okra though!  Mine was large, so I cut each piece in half.

The shrimp was delicious.  I seasoned it according to the recipe, but then tossed it into a saute pan rather than putting it on skewers.  I cooked it just under 3 minutes a side.  Fresh okra was out of season at the farmers market, so I did a medley of carrots, zucchini and red onion.  I seasoned the vegetables according to the recipe but then put them in a roasting pan and roasted them at 450 degrees for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through.  The veggies were yummy.  I also served Israeli couscous with pinenuts on the side.  In case you're wondering, I didn't think the dish was too hot, and my husband, who doesn't like Indian food, was quite happy with the meal.

Used some Indian spice I had w/ the Serrano pepper. Really good & really easy (only 5 min on the grill). Skipped the okra & served w/ couscous.
