  • In the meantime, make the vinaigrette. In a medium bowl, combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, garlic, shallot, oregano, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Whisk to combine. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper if desired. Set aside.
  • Once shrimp is finished marinating, preheat a skillet, grill pan, or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp and cook for 2 minutes per side, until cooked through.
  • To assemble the salad, add romaine to a very large bowl. Top with the chickpeas, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, bell pepper, roasted red pepper, feta, parsley, mint, oregano, and a couple generous pinches of salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Add the shrimp and desired amount of the vinaigrette and toss again to combine. Serve immediately with extra vinaigrette!
