Ingredients

• Vegan shrimp - 200 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Cherry tomatoes - 150 grams
• Red onion - 1 small, cut into wedges
• Bell pepper - 1 small, cut into chunks
• Pita bread - 2 pieces
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Cucumber - 1/2, diced
• Dairy-free yogurt - 100 grams
• Dill - 1 tablespoon, chopped

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Add the vegan shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
4. Thread the marinated vegan shrimp, cherry tomatoes, red onion wedges, and bell pepper chunks onto skewers.
5. Grill the skewers for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the shrimp are heated through.
6. While the skewers are grilling, prepare the tzatziki sauce by mixing dairy-free yogurt, diced cucumber, dill, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
7. Once the skewers are done, remove them from the grill and serve with warm pita bread, tzatziki sauce, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
