Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1.5 cups cherry or grape tomatoes (halved)
- 0.5 cups crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0 (optional, for grilling) wooden or metal skewers
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 2
Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat. Cover the bowl and let the shrimp marinate in the refrigerator for 15–30 minutes.
Step 3
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 15 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Step 4
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat or set a grill pan over medium-high heat on the stovetop.
Step 5
Thread the shrimp onto skewers if desired or leave them loose for grilling.
Step 6
Grill the shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from the grill and set aside.
Step 7
In a small skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and sauté the halved tomatoes for 2–3 minutes until slightly softened and warmed through.
Step 8
Arrange the grilled shrimp on a serving platter and spoon the sautéed tomatoes over the top.
Step 9
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the shrimp and tomatoes.
Step 10
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm. Enjoy!
