Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes
- 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 whole lemon (zested and juiced)
- 0.5 medium red onion (thinly sliced)
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1 medium cucumber (diced)
- 0.75 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
- 0.5 cup kalamata olives (sliced)
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the baby potatoes and cook them for 12-15 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and let cool.
Cut the cooked potatoes into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, garlic, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to make the dressing.
Add the cooked shrimp, red onion, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, feta cheese, kalamata olives, and parsley to the bowl with the potatoes.
Drizzle the dressing over the potato mixture and gently toss to combine, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to let the flavors meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
