Greek salad with grilled shrimp


 Ingredients:

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1 cucumber, seeded and diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the marinade. Let them marinate for about 15 minutes.
  3. While the shrimp are marinating, prepare the salad. In a large salad bowl, combine the romaine lettuce, diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, red wine vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing. Set aside.
  5. Once the grill is hot, grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook them as they can become rubbery.
  6. Remove the shrimp from the grill and let them cool slightly. Once they are cool enough to handle, cut them into bite-sized pieces.
  7. Add the grilled shrimp to the salad bowl and pour the dressing over the top. Toss everything together gently to combine.
  8. Sprinkle the chopped fresh dill over the salad if desired.
  9. Serve the Greek salad with grilled shrimp immediately and enjoy!
