This would make a great starter or first course, just serve 4 shrimp per person and one-half of a pita for a K2.
- Preparation Time: 10 minutes
- Cooking Time: 5 minutes
- Standing Time: 15 minutes
- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons white wine
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt or sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 pound 4 ounces large shrimp (21 to 30 per pound), shelled and deveined
- 1 large onion, quartered
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 4 whole-wheat pita breads-6"
- 1/3 cup feta cheese, crumbled
Instructions
- Preheat a grill to high, prepare a hot fire or preheat the broiler. If using wooden skewers, soak 4 skewers in water for 30 minutes.
- In a large baking dish, combine the lemon juice, wine, garlic, oil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir in the shrimp and let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Separate the onion layers. Alternately thread the shrimp, onion layers, and cherry tomatoes onto the skewers. Lightly oil the grill. Grill the shrimp, turning once, until cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Meanwhile, grill the pita breads, turning once, until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes.
- To serve, place a warm pita on each of 4 plates, top with a shrimp skewer and sprinkle with the feta.
Tips
- To make quick work of shelling the shrimp, use small kitchen scissors. Cut the shell along the curved back of the shrimp, making a shallow cut in the shrimp as you go, then remove the peel. (Leave the tail on, if you like.) Then with your fingers, pull out the dark vein.
