π Ingredients
The Greek Lemon Shrimp
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
The Dill Garlic Feta Sauce
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
- 1 garlic clove, finely grated
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Black pepper, to taste
The Assembly
- 4 large pita breads or flatbreads
- 1 cup romaine lettuce, shredded
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cucumber, diced
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, sliced
π©βπ³ How to Make It
1. Marinate the Shrimp
In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the shrimp and toss until evenly coated. Let the shrimp marinate for 10 minutes, allowing the citrus and herbs to infuse every bite without affecting the shrimp’s texture.
2. Prepare the Dill Garlic Feta Sauce
Add the feta cheese, Greek yogurt, cream cheese, grated garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, fresh dill, olive oil, and black pepper to a food processor. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth, creamy, and thick. Refrigerate until ready to use.
3. Cook the Shrimp
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Arrange the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2 minutes per side, or until they turn pink, opaque, and lightly golden. Remove immediately to keep them tender and juicy.
4. Warm the Pitas
Warm the pita breads in a dry skillet or microwave for about 30 seconds until soft and flexible, making them easy to fold without tearing.
5. Assemble and Serve
Spread a generous layer of the creamy dill garlic feta sauce down the center of each warm pita. Add the shredded romaine, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and Kalamata olives. Top with the hot lemon shrimp, fold the pita into a wrap, and serve immediately while everything is fresh and flavorful.
