I adopted this recipe after the original poster left Zaar. I haven't tried the recipe, yet, but will make any necessary edits when I do. The original comments: From Food and Wine June 2004. I made these for my Memorial day Party and everyone wanted the recipe. They are fabulous! The Feta Dill sauce has a nice clean, summery taste to it. Ingredients:
1/2 cup low-fat plain yogurt |
1 scallion, white and light green parts only thinly sliced |
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped |
2 1/2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped |
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled (2 ounces) |
salt & freshly ground black pepper (to taste) |
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil |
2 lbs large shrimp, peeled and deveined, extra large, if available |
2 lemons, cut into 12 wedges |
Directions:
1. Light the grill.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, mix the yogurt with the scallion, 1/4 of the garlic and 1/2 tablespoon of the dill.
3. Stir in the Feta, mashing it slightly.
4. season with salt and pepper.
5. In a large bowl, combine the remaining minced garlic and 2 tablespoons of dill and olive oil.
6. Add shrimp and lemon, season with salt and pepper.
7. Toss to coat well.
8. Thread 3-4 shrimp with 2 lemon wedges per skewer.
9. Season with salt and pepper.
10. Grill over medium-hot fire, turning occasionaly, until the shrimp are charred and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
11. Transfer skewers onto a platter and serve at once with Feta-Dill Sauce.
