Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp thawed & peeled (tails on optional, medium to large
- ice for shrimp ice bath
- 1 grapefruit peeled & flesh broken into bite-size pieces, ruby red
- 2 mandarin orange peeled & segmented (or use a few of the mini mandarins
- 1 butter leaf lettuce torn into bite-size pieces, head
- arugula large handful
- 1 tablespoon cilantro chopped, fresh
- 1 tablespoon chive chopped, fresh
- 1/3 cup almonds sliced
Dressing:
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- lime juice of 1
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Fill a medium saucepan with water and a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil.
- Meanwhile, prep your shrimp (ensure they're thawed), and add ice to a large bowl filled with water.
- Place the shrimp in the boiling water and cook for 3-4 minutes or until they turn pink (don't overcook). Drain the shrimp and immediately plunge them into the ice bath.
- Meanwhile, prep your other ingredients. I suggest completely removing the grapefruit flesh from the skin, pith, and membrane because it's all fairly tough and bitter. I just use my hands to do this.
- Add the dressing ingredients to a small bowl and whisk together (adjust ingredient quantities as needed according to your taste preferences).
- Drain the shrimp when the salad is ready to go and toss everything together. Add more salt & pepper as needed. Serve immediately.
Notes
- You could also add an avocado to this salad if desired.
- Serves 2 as a main course or 4 as a side.
