GRILLED SHRIMP, AVOCADO, & CLEMENTINE SALAD
Steps:
- An hour before grilling, marinate shrimp in the juice of one lime, salt, pepper, 2 tbs of cilantro, 2 cloves of finely grated garlic, pinch of cumin, and 2 tbs olive oil. Cover and refrigerate. Fill a large salad bowl with baby lettuce, arugula, and remaining cilantro. Or any leafy greens you prefer. Peel and dice avocado, add to salad bowl. Peel and divide clementine wedges, add to salad bowl. Chop peppers into large chunks. Divide zucchini lengthwise several times. Toss with juice of one lime, salt and pepper. Grill until soft and the skin chars. Cut into bite size pieces and add to salad bowl. Grill shrimp until flesh turns pink and begins to brown around the edges. Baste shrimp with the juice of 1 lime as they cook. Add shrimp to the salad bowl. Toss with remaining olive oil, lime juice, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Select the freshest shrimp possible. Look for shrimp that are firm and have a slightly translucent appearance. Avoid shrimp that are discolored or have a strong odor.
- Properly devein the shrimp. Deveining removes the digestive tract from the shrimp, which can contain grit and bacteria. To devein shrimp, use a sharp knife to make a shallow incision along the back of the shrimp, then use your fingers to pull out the vein.
- Marinate the shrimp before grilling. Marinating the shrimp in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs will help to tenderize and add flavor to the shrimp.
- Grill the shrimp over medium-high heat. This will help to create a nice char on the outside of the shrimp while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
- Do not overcook the shrimp. Overcooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery. Cook the shrimp just until they are pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serve the shrimp immediately. Grilled shrimp is best served immediately, while they are still hot and juicy.
