Cajun Shrimp With Millet Grilled Eggplant Zucchini And Mojito Sauce Recipes
RAGIN' CAJUN EGGPLANT AND SHRIMP SKILLET
We always have a large summer garden where lots of produce lingers into fall. That's when we harvest our onion, bell pepper, tomatoes and eggplant, the main ingredient of this dish. This recipe turns Cajun with the Holy Trinity (onion, celery and bell pepper), shrimp and red pepper flakes. -Barbara Hahn, Park Hills, Missouri

CAJUN SHRIMP WITH MILLET, GRILLED EGGPLANT, ZUCCHINI, AND MOJITO SAUCE
In Sonima's "Recipe by Request" column our friends at the Natural Gourmet Institute in New York City develop healthy meal ideas exclusively for readers. The cajun shrimp dish here was created for Kristin Robinson in Ontario, Canada. She wrote, " I would like a gluten-free casein-free recipe that even the pickiest eater will eat. Both my son and I need to be on a GFCF diet, and honestly my husband was told he needed to also but he refuses because he says the food just doesn't taste the same. He works manual labor and wants a wholesome meal at the end of the day and its just not cutting it for him! Please help!" The chefs at the Natural Gourmet Institute recommend meals that incorporate fresh vegetables, lean protein, and plenty of bold flavors so you don't miss the foods your diet doesn't allow. In this recipe, a variety of spices finished with a mojito sauce provide a flavor kick, while eggplant and zucchini add hearty texture, micronutrients, and fiber to the wholesome gluten-free millet base. The instructions below recommend a grill pan but during the summer months you may prefer to fire up the barbecue and cook the shrimp and vegetables outside. You can modify the recipe to include more or less seasoning to fit the needs of picky eaters. Prepare this dish at home and share your photos of the results on Twitter or Instagram @LiveSonima with the hashtag #RecipebyRequest.

Steps:
- In a medium saucepot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil with ½ teaspoon salt. Add millet, turn heat down to low, cover tightly with a lid, and cook until water is absorbed (about 15 minutes). Take off heat and let stand, covered, for 10 extra minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving. In a bowl, toss shrimp with garlic, lime juice, thyme, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper, and 1 tablespoon oil; let stand for 10 minutes. Thread shrimp onto metal or soaked wooden skewers. Rub 1 tablespoon oil onto a grill pan and heat over a medium-high flame. Place skewers on grill. Cook until no longer translucent, 5-6 minutes, flipping once halfway. Toss zucchini and eggplant with remaining 1 tablespoon oil and salt and pepper. Grill until softened, 5-6 minutes, flipping once halfway. Transfer vegetable to a cutting board and slice on a diagonal into 1/3"-thick pieces. To make mojito sauce, mash together lime zest, garlic, cilantro, and salt and pepper in a mortar and pestle until finely ground. Stir in vinegar. While continually stirring, slowly stream in oil. To serve, place ½ cup of millet into a bowl and top with grilled vegetables and shrimp. Drizzle with a tablespoon of mojito sauce; serve with extra sauce, if desired.

The kicked-up marinade on these shrimp makes this a flavor-packed dish. Serve over rice, and make sure to squeeze those charred lemons over top-that makes them taste extra bright and delicious. -Sharon Delaney-Chronis, South Milwaukee, Wisconsin
