Directions

  1. Combine the lemon juice, oil, and garlic in a small bowl. Transfer the mixture to a zipper-lock bag and add the shrimp, tossing to coat. Refrigerate 15 minutes.

  2. Coat a nonstick grill pan with cooking spray. Preheat over medium-high heat. Toss the arugula, red onion and tomatoes in a small bowl.

  3. Remove the shrimp from the marinade. Sprinkle the basil and parsley on both sides and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

  4. Cook 2 minutes per side, or until opaque throughout, flipping halfway through. Let cool 1 to 2 minutes and cut into 1⁄2" pieces.

  5. Spread the hummus inside the pita. Fill with the arugula-tomato mixture, then add the shrimp.
