Ingredients

  • 1 lb raw shrimp peeled and deveined, tail on
  • 6 cups baby spinach
  • 2 small avocados sliced
  • 1 cup corn
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 cup cilantro loosely packed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp Flavor God Spicy Everything seasoning
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup fat free plain Greek yogurt
  • Optional: watermelon radishes sliced

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine cilantro, juice of 2 limes, olive oil, Flavor God seasoning, and garlic in a blender.  Blend until mostly smooth.
  2. Pour half of the cilantro mixture over shrimp in a resealable container and marinate for no more than 30 minutes.
  3. Add Greek yogurt and honey to the reserved cilantro mixture and blend.  Set aside to use as dressing.
  4. Layer spinach, corn, tomatoes and avocado in a serving dish.
  5. Grill or pan sear shrimp until cooked through.  Add on top of assembled salad ingredients and top with dressing before serving.

Notes

  • To get a nice sear on the shrimp in a pan, rinse and dry them before marinating, then lay them out on a paper towel lined plate after removing them from the marinade.  Lightly pat them dry before adding them to a dry, hot pan over medium-high heat.  Don't overcrowd the pan or move them around, except for flipping them once.
