• Serve it up Suzy-Style:
• For an outing or picnic, I like to make this seem like gourmet takeout so I put it in small aluminum containers with clear lids. You can get them at the store or from restaurant supply companies online. I place it in and put cute labels on the clear top and write the name of the recipe on it.

Steps:

• Prepare grill for cooking.
• Make dressing:
• Whisk together 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 3 tablespoons oil, half of oregano, half of garlic, and salt and pepper to taste in a large bowl.
• Gently stir tomatoes, cucumber, and onion into dressing and let stand at room temperature while grilling.
• Marinate shrimp:
• Whisk together remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice and remaining oregano and garlic in a large bowl. Stir in shrimp until well coated and marinate at room temperature 10 minutes.
• Grill pitas and bell pepper while shrimp marinates:
• Lightly brush pitas and bell pepper on both sides with some oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill pitas on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until browned and slightly crisp, about 2 minutes on each side, then transfer to a rack to cool (pitas will continue to crisp as they cool).
• Grill bell pepper until just softened, about 1 1/2 minutes on each side.
• Grill shrimp:
• Add remaining tablespoon oil to shrimp and toss to coat. Thread 4 shrimp lengthwise, each facing in same direction (so shrimp will lay flat on grill), on each skewer without crowding. Season shrimp with salt and pepper.
• Grill shrimp until just cooked through, about 2 minutes on each side.
• Break pitas into bite-size pieces and coarsely chop bell pepper. Remove shrimp from skewers and gently stir into tomato mixture with pitas, bell pepper, feta, and salt and pepper to taste.

• Mix the first 10 ingredients in large bowl.
• Add the cooked pasta and the shrimp.

• Add shrimp to couscous with romaine lettuce, grape tomatoes, feta cheese, cucumber, and vinaigrette; toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
