Number Of Ingredients 12

2 whole-wheat pitas (8 inches each), both cut into 8 triangles
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
12 ounces medium shrimp, shelled and deveined
1/2 cup sliced shallots
4 cups cubed (1 inch) seedless watermelon

2 ounces crumbled feta
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

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.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I had a few shrimp left over from a party and this was the perfect way to use them up.
