Best 3 Grilled Shrimp And Feta Salad Recipes

WARM ORZO SALAD WITH GRILLED SHRIMP AND FETA DOWNER-HAZELL

Steps:

• Prepare shrimp:
• Mince garlic and in a bowl whisk together with lemon juice, oil, oregano, pepper, and salt to taste. Shell shrimp and devein, if desired, and add to marinade, stirring to coat well. Marinate shrimp, covered and chilled, 1 hour. Prepare grill. Soak skewers in warm water 30 minutes.
• While grill is heating, fill a 6-quart kettle three fourths full with salted water and bring to a boil for orzo. Trim sugar snap peas. Chop tomatoes and thinly slice white and pale green parts of scallions. Finely chop parsley.
• Make dressing:
• Chop garlic and in a blender blend with remaining dressing ingredients until dressing is emulsified.
• Stir orzo into boiling water and cook until al dente. Add snap peas and cook 15 seconds. Drain pasta and peas and transfer to a large bowl. Cool pasta 5 minutes and stir in feta, tomatoes, scallions, and parsley. Add dressing to salad and toss well. Season salad with salt and pepper.
• Thread shrimp onto skewers, discarding marinade. Grill shrimp on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes on each side. (Alternatively, grill shrimp in a hot lightly oiled well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.) Push shrimp off skewers into salad and toss gently.

GRILLED SHRIMP, CORN AND SNAP PEA SALAD WITH FETA

Steps:

• Preheat the grill over medium-high heat to about 375 degrees F or preheat a large grill pan over medium heat. Clean the grill grates.
• Grill the corn, flipping occasionally, until you see grill marks and the corn turns bright yellow, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, combine the shrimp with the lemon zest, a drizzle of grapeseed oil and a sprinkle each of salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Toss together. While the corn is cooling, grill the shrimp until you see grill marks and the shrimp is pink, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
• Once the corn is cool enough to handle, cut the kernels off the cob and place into a large bowl; discard the cobs. Add the snap peas, chopped mint, radishes, almost all of the scallions (save the rest for garnish), the lemon juice, a drizzle of the olive oil and a sprinkle each of salt and pepper. Toss together and taste for seasoning. Add the feta and shrimp and toss to combine.
• Serve in a large shallow dish and sprinkle with the reserved scallions and mint leaves. Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled.

GRILLED SHRIMP AND FETA SALAD

• 3. Whisk together the lemon juice, 1/3 cup olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Pour over the salad and toss to coat. Top with the feta cheese.
