Roasted Shrimp Salad with Tomatoes and Olives

With no boiled shrimp and no mayo, this shrimp salad is immediately set apart from its traditional counterpart. It’s actually closer to a scampi sandwich. Eschewing the mayo keeps the contents light and the flavor assertive. Throwing a party? As the shrimp are particularly beautiful, this recipe could also be used to make canapĆ©s.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon thinly sliced garlic plus 1 (peeled) clove
1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 cup white wine

Zest and juice from 1 lemon
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano, or 1/2 tablespoon dried Sicilian oregano
4 slices multigrain bread

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Step 3

    Grill the bread on both sides and lightly rub with the garlic clove. Place the shrimp salad on top and serve open-faced.
