Shrimp-Salad Pitas


So Ty and I are on a healthy eating/ healthy living kick. We are trying to get in shape and getting used to not eating all that crap that is oh sooo tempting. This is a new recipe I found in "Food Network Magazine". It is really easy to make and pretty tasty as Ty said so himself!

Shrimp-salad Pitas
serves 4

Ingredients:
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
1 1/2 pounds medium shrimp, peeled, deveined and halved crosswise
2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 Tsp hot paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup 2% Greek Yogurt
1 medium carrot, coarsely grated
1 Kirby cucumber, halved lengthwise, seeded and thinly sliced
1 Tbsp chopped fresh dill
1 lemon
4 whole wheat pitas
8 Bibb lettuce leaves

1. Preheat the broiler. Soak the chopped onion in a bowl of cold water while you prepare the shrimp.
2. Toss the shrimp with the olive oil, paprika, 1/4 tsp salt and pepper to taste on a rimmed baking sheet. Spread in an even layer and broil until the shrimp are opaque, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool. Wash and dry the baking sheet.
3. Drain the onion and add to the shrimp along with the yogurt, carrot, cucumber, dill and salt and pepper to taste. Grate in 1 tsp lemon zest and squeeze in about half of the lemon juice.
4. Lay the pitas on the baking sheet and toast under the broiler. Cut the pitas in half and fill with the lettuce and shrimp salad.
