Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup Greek-style (2% or nonfat) yogurt*
1 cup 1/4-inch cubes English hothouse cucumber
3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice plus additional for drizzling
2 tablespoons chopped shallots
1 1/4 teaspoons aniseed, finely crushed, divided
Olive oil (for brushing and drizzling)
1 pound uncooked large shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails left intact
8 cups baby spinach leaves
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

Steps:

  • Mix Greek-style yogurt, cucumber, dill, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, shallots, and 3/4 teaspoon crushed aniseed in small bowl; season tzatziki generously with salt and pepper. Chill.
  • Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Brush grill with oil. Thread shrimp onto 4 metal skewers. Brush shrimp all over with olive oil; sprinkle with salt, pepper, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon crushed aniseed. Grill just until shrimp are opaque in center, about 3 minutes per side. Divide spinach among 4 plates; drizzle lightly with additional lemon juice and olive oil. Top each with 1 shrimp skewer. Spoon tzatziki over shrimp; sprinkle with feta cheese and serve.
  • *A thick yogurt; sold at some supermarkets and at specialty foods stores (such as Trader Joe's and Whole Foods markets) and Greek markets. If unavailable, place plain yogurt in cheesecloth-lined strainer set over large bowl. Cover and chill overnight to drain.

These shrimp skewers were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

These shrimp skewers were amazing! The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the tzatziki sauce was to die for. I will definitely be making these again and again.

The shrimp skewers were a bit overcooked, but the tzatziki sauce was delicious. I'll try cooking the shrimp for a shorter amount of time next time.

The shrimp skewers were a bit dry, but the tzatziki sauce helped to moisten them up. I think I'll try marinating the shrimp in olive oil next time.

These shrimp skewers were a bit too spicy for me, but I think that's because I used a spicy tzatziki sauce. Next time I'll use a milder sauce.
