Grilled Shrimp + Risotto

This is an easy dish to make and it's filled with yummy flavors. The risotto is Trader Joe's brand Mushroom & Herb Risotto, and it was my first time making it. It was okay, but I wasn't crazy about it. You can have the shrimp and veggies with any rice of your liking of course.

Ingredients:
1/2 lb shrimp pre-cooked
1 red bell pepper
1/2 red onion
10 button mushrooms
1 cup shredded carrots

Directions:
1) Ready your BBQ grill with charcoal.
2) Rinse the shrimp and take off the shell. Chop bell pepper and onions into 1 inch pieces. Slice the mushrooms. I like to place these in a grill basket, but you can use skewers for the same effect.
3) Let this grill for about 20 minutes.
4) While shrimp and veggies are grilling, start your risotto (or rice) according to the box directions. When you're about 1/2 way done cooking the risotto place the shredded carrots into the sauce pan and stir together.
5) Serve risotto on a plate and top with grilled shrimp and veggies.
