1 pound large shrimp

8 wedges watermelon

Olive oil

Salt and pepper, to season

8 ounces halloumi cheese, sliced into ½-inch strips

Instructions

Peel and devein the shrimp and leave the tails on. In a medium bowl, toss shrimp in olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Brush watermelon lightly with olive oil.

Heat grill to medium-high and brush the grate with olive oil. Grill shrimp until lightly charred in spots on both sides and just cooked through, 1-2 minutes per side. Grill watermelon for about 2-3 minutes on each side, watching for some grill marks to appear. Grill halloumi until it browns and starts to blister on each side, about 1-3 minutes per side.

To serve, place watermelon on a platter and layer with shrimp and halloumi. Serve with pickled red onions.
