Steps

  1. Prep first: mince the garlic, dice the cucumber and red onion, quarter the cherry tomatoes, chop the parsley, crumble the feta, and wash and dry the romaine leaves.
  2. Make the hummus: in a food processor, blend the chickpeas, tahini, half the lemon juice, the cumin, one-third of the garlic, half the salt and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. With the motor running, add the cold water until smooth and creamy. Chill.
  3. Pat the shrimp dry and toss with the oregano, paprika, half of the remaining salt and the black pepper.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in one layer and cook 2 minutes per side, adding the rest of the garlic in the last minute, until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
  5. Transfer the shrimp to a plate, drizzle with one-third of the remaining lemon juice, and refrigerate about 20 minutes until cold; chop into bite-size pieces.
  6. Make the salad: toss the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion and parsley with the remaining olive oil, the remaining lemon juice and the remaining salt.
  7. Spread the hummus inside the romaine leaves, top with the chilled shrimp and cucumber-tomato salad, and finish with the feta. Wrap and serve cold.
