GRILLED SHRIMP WITH FETA AND TOMATOES

Grilled Shrimp With Feta and Tomatoes image

I got this recipe from our "Parade" Magazine. It was very good. I especially liked the vinaigrette. I served it on the side. Instead of radicchio (which my kids hate) I used a bag of Italian blend lettuce. I also halved the amount of mint leaves and used fresh oregano instead of dried. Great dinner for those hot summer nights.
