Number Of Ingredients 12

2 whole-wheat pitas (8 inches each), both cut into 8 triangles
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
12 ounces medium shrimp, shelled and deveined
1/2 cup sliced shallots

This shrimp and watermelon skillet was a hit! The flavors were so unique and delicious. I loved the contrast between the sweet watermelon and the savory shrimp. The sauce was also amazing - it was the perfect balance of sweet, sour, and spicy.
