- Remove the veggies and place back into the bowl. Add 1 tbsp olive oil, the vinegar and parsley and toss to combine.
- Spoon the sour cream, sun dried tomato paste and Tabasco into a bowl, season with salt and pepper to taste and mix together.
- Slide the shrimp onto the skewers, drizzle with a little more of the olive oil, salt and black pepper, then griddle on each side for 3-4 minutes until pink and cooked through. Use caution not to overcook (see our shrimp cooking tips here).
- Place the lettuce, cut side down, onto the griddle/BBQ for 1-2 minutes until charred.
