This shrimp salad refresh uses a light vinaigrette to bring out the flavors of the shellfish as well as the mango and avocado. For ease, zest the citrus fruits before juicing them.
Ingredients
For the vinaigrette:
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons lime zest
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro or flat-leaf parsley
For the salad:
- 1 pound jumbo or extra-large shrimp, preferably wild caught, peeled and deveined if needed
- 1 large ripe mango, diced
- 1 large ripe avocado, diced
- 12 cherry tomatoes, halved
- 6 cups mixed lettuces such as arugula, radicchio, and green leaf, rough chopped
Directions
Step 1
Boil the shrimp in a large pot of salted water until they turn pink, 3 to 5 minutes; drain and set aside to cool.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the zests, juices, honey, and soy sauce. Keep whisking as you drizzle in the olive oil. Fold in the cilantro or parsley.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, mango, avocado, and tomatoes. Drizzle on half the vinaigrette and toss gently.
Step 4
Divide the lettuces among four plates and top with equal amounts of the shrimp mixture. Pass the rest of the vinaigrette separately.
