Shrimp with Vegetables and Rice Pilaf

I'm not a big fan of the name of this meal. It's a description but not a great name. But I don't have a better name, so it will just have to do. I wanted to hold on to some of my favorite summer vegetables before they are completely out of season. And it was quite yummy.
