Instructions

TO MAKE THE SHRIMP

Add the lemon juice, garlic, olive oil and salt to a small mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Add the shrimp to food storage bag.
Pour the marinade over the top, seal up the bag and toss to make sure all the shrimp is well coated. Allow the marinade to sit for 15-20 minutes, while you heat up your grill.
Add your shrimp onto the skewers and grill for just a couple of minutes on each side or until they have just turned pink.

TO MAKE THE APRICOT VINAIGRETTE

Add all the dressing ingredients to the mini chopper bowl that comes with an immersion blender. Pulse until the dressing has emulsified, then set aside.

TO ASSEMBLE THE SHRIMP SALAD

Add the lettuce to each salad bowl add a row of the tomatoes down one side and cucumber slices on the other.
Add the cubes of feta cheese next to the cucumbers and the sliced avocado on the other. Finally, add the shrimp down the center. Drizzle some of the dressing over the top and serve.
