Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil or salad oil

3 tablespoons white wine vinegar

2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot (1 medium)

2 tablespoons snipped fresh oregano

1 teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 clove garlic, minced

1 pound frozen large cooked shrimp (with tails), thawed

4 ounces smoked provolone cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, or crumbled feta cheese (1 cup)

1-1/2 cups grape tomatoes and/or yellow pear-shaped tomatoes

1/2 cup drained capers

Directions

In a large re-sealable plastic bag combine oil, vinegar, shallot, oregano, lemon peel, lemon juice, salt, and garlic.

Seal bag completely and shake to mix marinade well.

Set bag in a large bowl, then add shrimp, cheese, tomatoes, and capers to marinade.

Seal bag and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 6 hours, turning bag occasionally.

Chill 8 margarita glasses or small glass serving dishes in the refrigerator until ready to use.

To serve, spoon shrimp mixture into chilled glasses.

Makes 8 servings.

For a nice twist, here’s a citrus shrimp option.

Prepare as above, except for marinade. In a large re-sealable bag combine 1/2 cup grapefruit juice, 1/4 cup salad oil,1 tablespoon honey, 2 teaspoons snipped fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried crushed thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper.
