Ingredients

• 8 oz Shrimp
• 1 cup Mixed soft herbs
• 1/2 Cucumber
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 Lemon
• 1 tbsp Capers

Steps

1. Pat the shrimp very dry so they grill instead of steam.
2. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
3. Grill over high heat 2 minutes per side until just opaque with light char marks.
4. Chop the soft herbs roughly — dill, parsley, mint, or whatever you have.
5. Toss the herbs and cucumber with olive oil, lemon juice, and salt.
6. Arrange the warm shrimp over the herbs.
7. Scatter capers over the top and serve right away while the shrimp are warm.
