Greek Salad with Grilled Shrimp

Ingredients

• 1 lb Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 large Cucumber
• 2 large Tomato
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 0.5 cup Kalamata olives
• 1 medium Green bell pepper
• 4 oz Feta cheese (dairy)
• 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar

Instructions

1. 1In a bowl, combine the 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined, with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 0.25 teaspoon salt, and 0.125 teaspoon black pepper. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly. Let the shrimp marinate for 10 minutes.
2. 2Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. For gas grills, this is typically around 400-450°F (200-230°C).
3. 3Grill the marinated shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side. The shrimp are done when they turn pink and opaque all the way through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
4. 4While the shrimp are grilling, prepare the vegetables. Cut the 1 large cucumber into 1/2-inch cubes. Cut the 2 large tomatoes into 1-inch wedges. Thinly slice the 0.5 medium red onion. Cut the 1 medium green bell pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
5. 5In a large bowl, combine the cut cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and green bell pepper. Add the 0.5 cup Kalamata olives and the 4 oz feta cheese, crumbled.
6. 6Add the grilled shrimp to the large bowl with the vegetables and feta cheese. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Toss gently to combine all ingredients.
7. 7Serve the Greek salad with grilled shrimp immediately.
