SHRIMP, SPICED MANGO, AND AVOCADO SALAD WITH CITRUS DRESSING



Shrimp, Spiced Mango, and Avocado Salad with Citrus Dressing image

Provided by Food Network

Time 36m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/4 cup grapeseed oil
2 tablespoons Spanish-style smoked paprika
1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest
1 tablespoon coarsely cracked black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne
3 cloves garlic, minced
12 extra-large shrimp (U-12), peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
1/4 cup grape seed oil
1/4 cup olive oil
Coarse salt
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
4 loosely packed cups torn, soft lettuces, such as red oak and lolla rossa
1/4 cup finely diced red onion
1 mango, peeled, seeded, and diced
1 Haas avocado, peeled, seeded, and diced
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Make the marinade: Whisk together all the ingredients in a large bowl. Reserve 2 teaspoons of the marinade. Add the shrimp to the marinade and refrigerate for at least 3 hours and up to 6.
  • Make the vinaigrette: In a large bowl, whisk together the lime juice, mustard, zest, and reserved marinade. While whisking, drizzle in the oils to form a smooth vinaigrette. Set aside.
  • Make the salad: Remove the shrimp from the marinade; scrape off any excess marinade from the shrimp.
  • Season the shrimp, to taste, with salt. Heat the oil in a large skillet over a medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook, turning once, until just cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Remove the skillet from the heat.
  • In a bowl, toss together the onion, mango and avocado. Dress lightly with some of the vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • In a another bowl, lightly toss the lettuce with some of the vinaigrette and season with salt and pepper.
  • Mound the salad in the center of a platter and surround with the shrimp. Spoon some of the dressing over the shrimp and serve. (Reserve remaining vinaigrette for another use.)

Tips:

  • Choose ripe mangoes: When choosing mangoes for your salad, look for ones that are slightly soft to the touch and have a sweet, fragrant smell. Avoid mangoes that are too hard or have bruises or cuts.
  • Use a variety of colors: To make your salad more visually appealing, use a variety of colors of mangoes. You can use green, yellow, orange, and even red mangoes.
  • Add other fruits and vegetables: To add more flavor and texture to your salad, add other fruits and vegetables such as cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, and cilantro.
  • Use a light dressing: A light dressing will help to enhance the flavors of the mango and other ingredients. A simple vinaigrette or a honey-lime dressing are both good options.
  • Serve the salad chilled: Mango salad is best served chilled. This will help to keep the fruit and vegetables crisp and refreshing.

Conclusion:

Mango salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer party or potluck. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy flavor, mango salad is a surefire crowd-pleaser.
