Ingredients
- 1 pound large raw shrimp (unpeeled, smaller is fine too)
- 1 tablespoon oil (olive oil)
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper flakes
- 6 cups lettuce, torn (romaine is especially nice)
- 2 whole tomatoes (cut in wedges)
- 1/2 whole cucumber, peeled and sliced
- 4 green onions
- 1 avocado, diced (may not be authentic, but delicious)
- 1/4 cup pitted black olives, sliced
- 1 can (14 ounce) garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
- 4 tablespoons Greek salad dressing
How to Make
-
Step 1: Thaw shrimp, shell and remove tails. Heat oil in skillet, add garlic and hot pepper flakes. Saute shrimp until opaque. Set aside in serving bowl.
-
Step 2: Combine all salad ingredients. Toss with dressing (use purchased dressing, or try one of many excellent 'Zaar choices). Serve immediately, topping with shrimp.
-
Step 3: You may want to reduce the amount of dressing used, or put less salt in if making from scratch - the olives and feta add saltiness.
-
Step 4: Grilled shrimp are very nice.
