Provided by Food Network

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 pounds large frozen shrimp, thawed, shelled and deveined
1 head romaine lettuce, washed and drained
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh chives
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon chopped jalapenos or a pinch cayenne, optional
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup olive oil
1 small shallot, minced
1 small ripe Haas avocado, peeled, pitted and cubed just before cooking
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Dice the romaine into bite sized pieces, place in large salad bowl and set aside. In a medium non-stick pan heat the olive oil. Add the avocado and saute for 5 minutes. Remove the avocado with a slotted spoon and set aside in a bowl. Pour out all but 2 tablespoons of avocado oil into a small bowl, and reserve.
  • Add the minced shallot to the skillet and return to medium heat. Cook, stirring until shallots begin to soften (about 30 seconds). Add the shrimp, salt and pepper and jalapenos or cayenne, if using, and saute until shrimp are cooked through (3-4 minutes).
  • Remove from heat and spoon the shrimp into the bowl with the Avocado pieces. Add the chives and cilantro and fold together gently, just to combine the ingredients. With a rubber spatula, scrape any remaining oil in the skillet into the bowl with the reserved avocado oil. Whisk in the lime juice and salt and pepper to taste to make a dressing. Toss some of the dressing with the romaine until the lettuce is nicely coated, divide among serving plates. Top the lettuce with hot shrimp mixture, drizzle with additional dressing, garnish with cilantro and serve.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

For vinaigrette
1/4 cup fresh grapefruit juice
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
For salad
1 pink or red grapefruit
1 white grapefruit
1/4 cup hazelnuts, lightly toasted and any loose skins rubbed off
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 firm-ripe California avocados
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1/2 lb large shrimp (8 to 10), shelled and deveined
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cups baby spinach (2 oz)
1/4 cup trimmed sprouts (preferably radish)

Steps:

  • Make vinaigrette:
  • Whisk together vinaigrette ingredients with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Assemble salad:
  • Cut peel, including all white pith, from fruit with a sharp paring knife and cut segments free from membranes. Halve enough grapefruit segments to measure 1 1/2 cups (reserve any remaining segments for another use).
  • Coarsely chop hazelnuts. Melt butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until foam subsides, then cook hazelnuts with salt and pepper to taste, stirring, until a shade darker, about 5 minutes. Transfer nuts to paper towels to cool, reserving skillet.
  • Quarter avocados lengthwise, then pit and peel. Cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Drizzle with lime juice and season with salt and pepper.
  • Pat shrimp dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté shrimp, turning them, until golden and just cooked through, about 3 minutes.
  • Toss together spinach, half of grapefruit segments, and half of vinaigrette with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Arrange avocados and remaining grapefruit on 4 plates and top with shrimp, salad, and sprouts. Spoon remaining vinaigrette over salad and sprinkle with nuts.

Tips:

  • Select fresh and ripe ingredients: Use ripe avocados, juicy grapefruit, and plump shrimp for the best flavor and texture.
  • Properly grill the shrimp: Make sure the shrimp is cooked through but not overcooked. Overcooked shrimp can become tough and rubbery.
  • Use a light hand with the dressing: The dressing is flavorful but should not overpower the other ingredients. Adjust the amount of dressing used to your taste.
  • Serve immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh. The avocado and grapefruit can oxidize and turn brown if left sitting for too long.
