Best Recipe for Grilled Shrimp and Greek Bread Cheese
Ingredients
- 16 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 1 pint cherry or Campari tomatoes, halved
- 2 Kirby or 4 Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced
- 1 cup assorted pitted olives
- 2 tablespoons high-quality extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- 1 lemon, divided
- One 10- to 12-ounce block bread cheese, sliced into four pieces
Instructions
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Lay 8 wooden skewers in a baking dish and cover with cold water; soak for 15 minutes (you can skip this step if using metal skewers). Thread 4 shrimp onto two skewers for each serving. Season the shrimp with the dried oregano and some salt and pepper and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Grill the shrimp, turning occasionally, until pink in color and cooked through, about 5 minutes total.
- While the shrimp are on the grill, in a medium bowl toss together the tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, olive oil, juice of half the lemon, and some salt and pepper. Let the salad marinate for 5 minutes. Cut the remaining lemon half into wedges
- Once the shrimp come off the grill, brush both sides of the bread cheese slices with the remaining vegetable oil and grill just until softened, about 20 seconds per side.
- Serve the bread cheese while still warm with the vegetable salad, grilled shrimp, wedges of lemon, and a few drizzles of extra-virgin olive oil.
