Prep time: 25 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Serves 4 people

Ingredients

  • 2 16-by-12-inch sheets phyllo dough
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 16 jumbo shrimp (about 1 pound), peeled, deveined, tails intact
  • 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
  • 1 5 ounce bag baby spinach
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
  • 4 ounces reduced-fat feta, crumbled (about 1 cup)
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 8 pitted Kalamata olives, quartered

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

  2. Place 1 phyllo sheet on a work surface; cover second sheet with a kitchen towel. Cut sheet into eight 2-inch-wide strips and coat with cooking spray. Fold each strip in half. Repeat with remaining phyllo.

  3. Wrap 1 strip phyllo around each shrimp, starting at the top and moistening the end to seal. Arrange in a single layer on a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet; coat with cooking spray.

  4. Bake shrimp until phyllo is golden brown and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes a side.

  5. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, dill and oregano. Add spinach, tomatoes, feta, onion and olives and toss to coat. Divide among four plates and top each with 4 shrimp.
