Summer Grilling: Cedar Plank Flounder and Shrimp

This dish went over really well. I had two pieces (0.6 lb total) of flounder and 0.5 lb of shrimp for the two of us.
  • Soak the cedar plank for 2 hours in water
  • Start the coals.
  • Make a quick marinade of olive oil, add a ton of garlic put through a press, some lemon, pepper and some crab boil (very salty, so don't add more salt).
  • Cut a zucchini lengthwise and brush with the oil.
  • Skewer the shrimp and brush them and the flounder filets all over with the oil.
  • When the coals are ready, put the cedar plank on the grill for 2 minutes, flip it and put the fish on the hot side. Cover the grill and cook for a few minutes.
  • Add the shrimp, flip the zucchini, and cover again.
Serve with a large mound of salsa: a mix of chopped mango, red onion, tomato, poblano pepper, lime juice, black beans, and cooked corn cut from the cob.
Yum. The cedar flavor really came through the mild fish.
