directions

Shrimp

Place lemon juice, oregano, vinegar, oil, garlic, salt and pepper into a large zip lock bag or bowl. Add shrimp and let marinate for 20 minutes to 1 hour. 

While the shrimp is marinating, place your wooden skewers in water.

Once the shrimp is done marinating, place 4-5 shrimp on each skewer (I like to double skewer my shrimp as seen in the photo).

 Over medium high heat, grill your shrimp about 2-3 minutes per side.

Tzatziki

In a medium bowl, mix together the greek yogurt, garlic, cucumber, lemon, and dill. Season with salt and pepper.

Salad

In a medium bowl, mix together tomatoes, cucumber, onion, lemon, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

Serve the shrimp with pita, tzatziki, salad, lemons, cous cous and parsley.
