Ingredients:

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 medium zucchini, sliced into ½-inch thick half-moons
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp cracked black pepper
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup English cucumber, grated and squeezed dry
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and oregano.
  2. Add the shrimp and zucchini slices to the marinade, toss gently to coat, and let sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Thread the shrimp and zucchini alternately onto skewers, leaving small gaps between pieces to ensure even searing.
  4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  5. Place skewers on the grate and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until shrimp are opaque and curl into a C-shape, and zucchini has dark brown grill marks.
  6. While skewers cook, prepare the tzatziki by combining Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, fresh dill, grated garlic, and salt in a small bowl.
  7. Remove skewers from the grill and serve immediately with the chilled tzatziki.
