Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • 1 lb large shrimp
  • 1 tsp Italian oregano
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
Dry the peeled, deveined shrimp well on paper towel so the oil and seasoning stick.
Drying the shrimp
  • olive oil
  • garlic
  • Aleppo pepper
Toss with a little olive oil, grated garlic, oregano, smoked paprika and Aleppo pepper.
  • lemon
Add a little lemon only a few minutes before cooking; longer and the acid starts to cook the shrimp like ceviche. Everything but the lemon can be done hours ahead.
  • oil
Heat a grill pan until well preheated and lightly oil it if not non-stick; turn it down if smoking.
Grill the shrimp in a single layer about a minute and a half per side, in batches.
  • cherry tomatoes
  • dill
  • 1 whole cucumber
  • shallot
For the salad, halve or quarter the cherry tomatoes and chop dill, cucumber and a little shallot.
  • lemon rice
  • feta
Build each bowl on lemon rice or lettuce, with the warm shrimp, plenty of salad and crumbled feta in the center.
