Ingredients
16 large peeled and deveined shrimp
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 tablespoon fresh chopped dill
1 tablespoon olive oil for sauce
Directions
Prepare 8 wooden or metal skewers, soaking wooden ones in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent charring.
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and thread 2 shrimp onto each skewer, arranging them in a flat pattern.
Brush the shrimp skewers with 4 tablespoons of olive oil and season generously with kosher salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Cook the shrimp skewers for 2-3 minutes per side until they reach an internal temperature of 145F and are opaque and firm.
While the shrimp cook, combine the crumbled feta cheese, fresh chopped dill, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small bowl. Stir until well combined.
Transfer the cooked shrimp skewers to a serving platter and serve immediately with the dill and feta sauce for dipping.
Comments
Shrimp and feta are both reliable finds at Charlotte-area Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Publix, and Walmart—fresh shrimp is a regional advantage on the coast—and the ingredient list is short enough that you won't chase a second store. The stated 25 minutes is honest if you buy pre-peeled shrimp; if you're peeling them yourself, add 10 minutes, but that's still weeknight-friendly. At roughly $2–2.50 per serving, the cost is moderate and driven by the shrimp itself, making this a lighter weeknight option compared to a full dinner. The dish is low-fuss, needs no constant attention once the skewers hit the grill or pan, and reheats well, though the texture will soften slightly.
