Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat barbecue to high and lightly grease grill. In a bowl just large enough to hold shrimp, whisk lemon juice with oil, garlic and oregano. Add shrimp and stir.

2. After 20 minutes, remove shrimp from marinade. Skewer randomly with tomatoes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place on barbecue, turning occasionally, grill until shrimp are no longer pink and tomatoes begin to burst, 4 to 6 minutes in total.

3. Divide among 4 appetizer plates or serve on a small platter. Sprinkle with feta then dill. Serve with lemon wedges.
