Pick up an ocean breeze, wafting off the Mediterranean (or the Ionian or the Aegean). It lands you on a Greek island at suppertime, with a keto-minded meal laid out before you. The shrimp are jiggly pink inside and thinly crusted with full-bodied herbs and spices. Give a village salad some extra spark by marinating sliced red onions in red wine vinegar, before tossing in chopped tomatoes, cukes and dill.

Preparation
Cook the shrimp
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towel (remove the shells from the tails if desired); season with ⅔ of the spices and S&P. In a medium pan (non-stick if possible), heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the shrimp* and cook, 1 to 2 min. per side, until opaque and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the onions and vinegar. Halve the tomatoes. Quarter the cucumbers lengthwise; cut crosswise into ½ inch pieces.
Make the salad
Pick the dill fronds off the stems. To the bowl of onions and vinegar, add the tomatoes, cucumbers, dill, 2 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions), the remaining spices and S&P; toss well.
Plate your dish
Divide the shrimp and salad between your plates. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking shellfish to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
