Another light, easy dinner for a hot summer evening. Nice with garlic bread or toasted pita chips and hummus. Ingredients:
1 lb large unpeeled shrimp (smaller is fine too) |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 garlic clove, crushed |
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper flakes |
6 cups lettuce, torn, romaine is especially nice |
2 tomatoes, cut in wedges |
1/2 cucumber, peeled and sliced |
4 green onions |
1 avocado, diced (may not be authentic, but delicious) |
1/4 cup pitted black olives, sliced |
1 (14 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed |
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional) |
greek salad dressing |
Directions:
1. Thaw shrimp, shell and remove tails. Heat oil in skillet, add garlic and hot pepper flakes. Saute shrimp until opaque. Set aside in serving bowl.
2. Combine all salad ingredients. Toss with dressing (use purchased dressing, or try one of many excellent 'Zaar choices). Serve immediately, topping with shrimp.
3. You may want to reduce the amount of dressing used, or put less salt in if making from scratch - the olives and feta add saltiness.
4. Grilled shrimp are very nice.
