Crispy Grilled Harissa Shrimp Greek Salad Recipes

GRILLED SHRIMP GREEK SALAD

Steps:

• Prepare grill for cooking.
• Make dressing:
• Whisk together 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 3 tablespoons oil, half of oregano, half of garlic, and salt and pepper to taste in a large bowl.
• Gently stir tomatoes, cucumber, and onion into dressing and let stand at room temperature while grilling.
• Marinate shrimp:
• Whisk together remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice and remaining oregano and garlic in a large bowl. Stir in shrimp until well coated and marinate at room temperature 10 minutes.
• Grill pitas and bell pepper while shrimp marinates:
• Lightly brush pitas and bell pepper on both sides with some oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill pitas on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until browned and slightly crisp, about 2 minutes on each side, then transfer to a rack to cool (pitas will continue to crisp as they cool).
• Grill bell pepper until just softened, about 1 1/2 minutes on each side.
• Grill shrimp:
• Add remaining tablespoon oil to shrimp and toss to coat. Thread 4 shrimp lengthwise, each facing in same direction (so shrimp will lay flat on grill), on each skewer without crowding. Season shrimp with salt and pepper.
• Grill shrimp until just cooked through, about 2 minutes on each side.
• Break pitas into bite-size pieces and coarsely chop bell pepper. Remove shrimp from skewers and gently stir into tomato mixture with pitas, bell pepper, feta, and salt and pepper to taste.

• Preheat the grill (or charcoal grill) to medium heat, oil the grates and grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until opaque.
• Transfer grilled shrimp to a plate and set aside.
• Make harissa dressing by mixing all ingredients together.
• Assemble your salad and add shrimp to top.

CRISPY PANKO SHRIMP SALAD

• In a large bowl, whisk together remaining 2 tablespoons Dijonnaise, 1 tablespoon oil, and 1 tablespoon water. Season with salt and pepper; stir in tomatoes. Add greens; toss to coat. Serve immediately with shrimp.

GRILLED GREEK SUMMER SALAD

Steps:

• For the sweet Greek dressing: Whisk together the vinegar, honey, mustard, oregano and garlic in a bowl. Slowly stream in the olive oil while whisking. Add salt and pepper to taste. Measure out 1/2 cup of the dressing for marinating the chicken. Set aside the remaining dressing for drizzling on the salad.
• For the chicken: Put the chicken in a nonreactive container, pour the reserved 1/2 cup sweet Greek dressing over it and toss to coat. Marinate the chicken, refrigerated, for 2 hours.
• Preheat a grill to medium heat.
• Oil the grill grates with vegetable oil. Grill the chicken until golden on each side and the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F, 7 to 8 minutes per side. Let rest before slicing.
• For the salad: Brush each romaine half with vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill on high on the cut sides until slightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Place a seared romaine half on a serving plate. Line up some tomatoes, feta, olives, cucumbers, onions and sliced chicken atop the romaine. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Drizzle with the sweet Greek dressing. Garnish with cracked black pepper and sea salt and serve.

• For the salad: Arrange the lettuce, olives, cucumbers, tomatoes and Pickled Red Onions on a platter, then drizzle with the sweet Greek dressing and top with the grilled shrimp skewers. Serve.
