Grilled Shrimp With Feta and Tomatoes

Submitted by mary winecoff

"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."

This recipe provided the BEST dinner I've fixed in a while. A real great summer meal! My husband and 15 year-old son RAVED about this. The only change I made was using fresh spinach. The mint turned out to have a subtle pleasant flavor mixed with the grilled shrimp. Very enjoyable and different.

These were absolutely delicious, with a nice tangy flavour from the lemon juice. I wsn't sure how shrimps and feta cheese would work together, but the combo really did it. Made for ZWT4.
