Shrimp Souvlaki with Whipped Feta and Pita
Ted: "Good evening. Welcome to MasterChef. I am great. This is my wife Tina. And this is Ted."
Ted: "I'm making a shrimp souvlaki with a whipped feta. So we're gonna put them on skewers, and I am going to use the cast iron."
Ted: "It's a ten. It's fantastic. I love it."
Ted: "Oh, the global gauntlet. I want to show how Greeks take care of America."
Ted: "Our house is not just My Big Fat Greek Wedding. It is my big, fat, average Greek Sunday. When we start off a Greek party, we end a Greek party. It's a big old opa. Come on, let's break some plates right now."
Ted: "Watch the cook on those shrimp. Take them off 20 seconds early and baste them as well."
Ted: "I'm taking a risk today by making shrimp. Shrimp can overcook super fast. But this plate is more than just some shrimp, some tomatoes. This plate brings together so many generations from me, my mom, everybody before us."
Ted: "I feel so confident because I am bringing the judges to Greece with my one simple dish."
Ted: "I'm Ted from Chicago, Illinois. I'm representing Greece, and I've made a shrimp souvlaki with a whipped feta and a homemade fresh pita."
Gordon Ramsay: "I think it looks good. Very inviting. I love that whipped feta underneath, the shrimp looks nice. The blistering of the tomatoes, even the colors it makes when we want to dig in, for sure."
Joe Bastianich: "You made the pita yourself? Right, different thoughts."
Tiffany Derry: "I think bread is for sopping, and I want it to sop up every bit of that sauce. That's 100% yes for me."
Joe Bastianich: "I have to say, it's speaking my language. I like the elegance of it, and I like the balance of it. This is a yes for me."
Gordon Ramsay: "Shrimp are cooked beautifully, and I'm glad you went the extra step and made that bit of bread because it's delicious. But listen, it's simple, right? Too simple for you? Do you have more in your itinerary? Absolutely. With the apron, you'll represent Europe. When you got to represent the Greeks from Chicago, you got to make sure you come strong. I'm a yes."
Result: Three yeses. Apron awarded.
