Grilled Shrimp And Greek Bread Cheese Recipes

GRILLED SHRIMP, ZUCCHINI, AND TOMATOES WITH FETA

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for high heat. Whisk garlic, oregano, salt, red pepper, and 2 Tbsp. oil in a large bowl. Add shrimp, zucchini, and tomatoes and toss to coat.
• Brush wires of grill basket with oil, then add shrimp mixture. Arrange in an even layer and close basket. Place grill basket on grill and cook, turning often, until shrimp is fully cooked through and zucchini and tomatoes are lightly charred, about 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, grill pita just until warm and toasted.
• Transfer shrimp mixture to a large bowl and toss until coated with tomato juices. Divide among plates and top with feta. Serve with pita alongside.

GRILLED GARLIC BREAD

GREEK BREAD SALAD WITH GRILLED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to high.
• Toss the shrimp with enough EVOO to coat, and season with the oregano and grill seasoning.
• Grill the split pita halves for a minute or two to char on the grill. Remove when crisp, break or tear into large pieces, and reserve.
• Combine the garlic with the zest of 1 lemon and the juice of 1 1/2 lemons in the bottom of a large, shallow bowl. Add the cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, parsley, mint, celery, olives, and the reserved bread. Add the 1/4 cup of EVOO (4 times around the bowl) and lots of salt and coarse black pepper, then toss the salad with your hands to combine well.
• Grill the shrimp on the screaming hot grill pan or outdoor grill. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until pink and firm. Transfer to a plate and top with the juice of the remaining 1/2 lemon.
• Pile the salad into large, shallow bowls and top with the grilled shrimp and wedges of feta.
