Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lemon, juiced
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces medium shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails left on)
1 lemon, juiced
1 clove garlic, minced or grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 head butter or Bibb lettuce
1 avocado, diced
1 ripe tomato, diced
1/4 cup pitted black olives
2 ounces goat cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • For the grilled shrimp: Prepare a grill for medium heat. In a bowl, combine the lemon juice, garlic powder and a pinch each of sea salt and pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat well. Thread the shrimp onto metal skewers.
  • Lay the shrimp on the hot grill and cook until cooked through (the flesh will turn opaque) and grill marks form, about 2 minutes per side. Remove and set aside. When cool enough to handle, pull the shrimp off the skewers.
  • For the vinaigrette: Add the lemon juice, garlic and a pinch each of kosher salt and pepper to a large bowl. Whisk together, then slowly stream in the olive oil while whisking. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
  • For the salad: Add the lettuce, avocado and tomato to the bowl with the dressing. Toss to coat well, then transfer to a serving bowl or platter, leaving any leftover vinaigrette in the bowl. Top the salad with the olives, goat cheese and shrimp. Drizzle the leftover vinaigrette in the bowl over the shrimp. Serve immediately.

SHRIMP, TOMATO AND FETA SALAD



Shrimp, Tomato and Feta Salad image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Extra-virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, smashed
1 pound (21/25) shrimp, peeled and deveined
Crushed red pepper
1 pound heirloom tomatoes, cut in various shapes
1/2 pound feta, crumbled
1 pint assorted cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1/2 English cucumber, peeled, seeded and medium diced
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 bunch fresh oregano, finely chopped
Red wine vinegar
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Coat a large saute pan with olive oil. Add 2 cloves garlic and a pinch crushed red pepper and bring to a high heat. When the garlic is golden brown and very aromatic, remove it from the pan and discard. Add the shrimp to the pan, sprinkle with salt and saute until the shrimp have turned pink and opaque, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool. When the shrimp have cooled, cut them in half lengthwise and reserve.
  • Toss together the tomatoes, feta, cucumbers and onions. Smash and finely chop the remaining 2 cloves garlic and add it to the veggies. Add the oregano and a pinch of crushed red pepper. Add in the shrimp and toss to combine. Dress the salad with the vinegar and olive oil and season with salt. Let sit for at least 30 minutes before eating.
  • Mmmmmm...salad!

Tips:

  • Choose the right shrimp: Opt for large, fresh shrimp with a firm texture and a translucent appearance. Avoid shrimp that are discolored or have an off smell.
  • Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will enhance their taste and tenderness. Allow the shrimp to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Grill the shrimp properly: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are opaque and slightly charred. Overcooking will make the shrimp tough and rubbery.
  • Let the shrimp cool: Before assembling the salad, let the shrimp cool slightly so that they are easier to handle.
  • Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: Choose ripe, juicy tomatoes for the best flavor. Heirloom tomatoes are a great option, but you can use any type of tomato you like.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing can be made up to 24 hours in advance. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.

Conclusion:

This grilled shrimp and tomato salad is a delicious and refreshing summer dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The combination of grilled shrimp, ripe tomatoes, and a tangy dressing is sure to please everyone. With a few simple tips, you can easily make this salad at home and enjoy its delicious flavor.
