  2. Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, until they turn pink and opaque.
  3. Grill the pork chops for 5-6 minutes per side, until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F.
Grill the Vegetables
  1. Toss the bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Grill the vegetables for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and slightly charred.
Cook the Corn
  1. Place corn on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and charred.
Serve
  1. Arrange grilled meats and vegetables on a platter. Serve with potato salad on the side.
