Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp olive oil, the minced garlic, lemon zest, 2 tbsp lemon juice, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, kosher salt, and black pepper until combined. Add the shrimp and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes — no longer, as the lemon juice will begin to firm the shrimp.

While the shrimp marinates, combine the Kalamata olives, crumbled feta, parsley, 1 tbsp olive oil, and 1 tbsp lemon juice in a small bowl. Stir gently and set aside.
