Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

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

Steps:

  • 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.
