Add the vegetable mix to blender and pulse until well chopped. Pour the mixture in a bowl and season with salt and pepper, stir and pour the gazpacho into 4 soup bowls.
• Season the shrimp with salt and pepper and grill until warmed through, about 1 minute per side. Place the shrimp evenly over the gazpacho and add cilantro. Serve with fresh lime wedge.
