Make sure everything gets beautiful grill marks on all sides.
-
13
Have a clean baking sheet ready and depending on time and heat, remove the vegetables once they are softened and done to your liking.

14
You need to pay attention because most likely the tomatoes will be ready first and start bursting.
-
15
Turn each veggie around so they get color all over.
-
16
When they are all done and removed from the grill, set them aside to cool for a few minutes (they will be too hot to handle right now).

Do not over-cook your shrimp or you may as well eat rubber!
-
33
Put your Maque Choux into your serving bowl, top with shrimp and a nice thick piece of grilled bread.
