Originally a Rachael Ray Magazine Recipe

Ingredients

2 c Whole milk yogurt
 Juice of one lemon
2 cloves Garlic, finely chopped
2 t Salt
1 t Ground cumin
1 lb Large shrimp, deveined
2 t EVOO
1/2 t Crushed red pepper
1 can 15.5 oz chickpeas, rinsed
4 Plum tomatoes, chopped

Preparation

1. In a large bowl, mix together yogurt, lemon juice, half of garlic, 1 t salt and the cumin. Transfer half the yogurt to a small bowl. Add the shrimp to the large bowl and mix. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

2. In a medium saucepan, heat 1.5 T olive oil, the crushed red pepper, and the remaining garlic over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add the chickpeas and cook, stirring for 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes and remaining teaspoon of salt, cover and cook for 5 minutes. Lower the heat and keep warm until ready to serve.

3. On a grill pan, grill the marinated shrimp, turning once, until cooked through, about 3 minutes on each side.

4. Top the chickpeas with the shrimp and serve with the reserved yogurt sauce.

Cook's Notes

I don't have a grill pan, and it's cold outside here, so I just sauteed the shrimp in the pan. I served this with couscous.

I made this last night..I used only half the salt that the recipe calls for- next time i'll cut the salt out completely. I probably marinated the shrimp too long..they were like little salt nuggets. The rest of the recipe was very good...I'll make it again!
