Ingredients

  • Ingredients
    1. 1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt
    2. 1 scallion, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced
    3. 4 large garlic cloves, very finely chopped
    4. 2 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped dill
    5. 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (2 ounces)
    6. Salt and freshly ground pepper
    7. 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
    8. 2 pounds peeled and deveined large shrimp
    9. 2 lemons, each cut into 12 wedges

Directions

  1. Light a grill. In a medium bowl, mix the yogurt with the scallion, 1/4 of the garlic and 1/2 tablespoon of the dill. Stir in the feta, mashing it slightly. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the remaining minced garlic and 2 tablespoons of dill with the olive oil. Add the shrimp and lemons, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Thread 4 shrimp and 2 lemon wedges onto each of 12 skewers. Season with salt and pepper and grill over a medium-hot fire, turning occasionally, until the shrimp are charred and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer the skewers to a platter and serve at once with the feta sauce.
