Just got this email from Self Magazine with this recipe. Sounds delicious so I wanted to share.
Shrimp and Watermelon Skillet
INGREDIENTS
* 2 whole-wheat pitas (8 inches each), both cut into 8 triangles
* 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
* 12 oz medium shrimp, shelled and deveined
* 1/2 cup sliced shallots
* 4 cups cubed (1 inch) seedless watermelon
* 1/4 teaspoon salt (preferably kosher)
* 1/4 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
* 1 large cucumber, peeled and chopped
* 2 oz crumbled feta
* 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
* 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
* 2 limes, cut into wedges
PREPARATION
Heat oven to 450˚. On a baking sheet, toast pita triangles, turning once, until crisp and brown, 3 to 5 minutes each side. In a large skillet, heat oil over high heat. Cook shrimp and shallots, stirring, until shrimp is pink and shallots are crisp, 2 to 4 minutes; transfer to a bowl. In same skillet, cook watermelon and 1/4 cup water over high heat, stirring, until liquid becomes syrupy, about 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat; add shrimp mixture, salt and pepper; stir. Divide shrimp-watermelon mixture (warm or chilled) among 4 plates; add cucumber and feta. Sprinkle with dill and mint. Serve with 4 pita pieces each and lime wedges.
