Spicy Shrimp
- 1 pound extra large peeled and deveined shrimp
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
- Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
- Juice of half of a lemon squeezed over shrimp after grilling
Instructions
- In a small bowl combine the spices for the shrimp. Put the shrimp in a large bowl and toss them together with the spice mixture and a drizzle of olive oil until they're coated. Skewer the shrimp onto metal skewers and set aside while you make the dip and preheat the grill.
- In a food processor or blender add all of the ingredients for the feta dip. Purée until smooth. Taste for seasoning and adjust as needed. Add some extra crumbles of feta and chopped parsley to the dip and then refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Preheat the grill to 400° F. When hot, oil the grates and then lay the shrimp skewers on them. Grill for 2-3 minutes then flip them over and grill another 2 minutes or until they are pink and opaque. Be careful not to over cook them.
- Remove the shrimp from the grill and squeeze the juice of half of a lemon over the top of them. Let them rest for a couple minutes before remove them from the skewers onto a plate with the feta dip.
