Mediterranean Salad With Shrimp
- 1 lb large unpeeled shrimp (smaller is fine too)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper flakes
- 6 cups lettuce, torn, romaine is especially nice
- 2 tomatoes, cut in wedges
- 1/2 cucumber, peeled and sliced
- 4 green onions
- 1 avocado, diced (may not be authentic, but delicious)
- 1/4 cup pitted black olives, sliced
- 1 (14 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
- Greek salad dressing
- 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.
- Combine all salad ingredients. Toss with dressing (use purchased dressing, or try one of many excellent 'Zaar choices). Serve immediately, topping with shrimp.
- 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.
- Grilled shrimp are very nice.
