Time 15m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 pound medium shrimp, peeled and cleaned
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1 teaspoon grated orange rind
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 medium ripe avocados, peeled, pitted, cut into 1/4-inch-thick half-moon slices
1 large pink grapefruit, separated into sections
1/2 cup minced mint leaves

Steps:

  • Combine the olive oil and cayenne pepper in a nonstick skillet. Heat over high heat until barely smoking. Add the shrimp and saute until the shrimp turn opaque, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Set aside to cool. Slice in half lengthwise. Set aside.
  • Combine the grated lemon and orange rinds with the orange and lime juices in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Whisk in the olive oil. Add the salt and pepper. Add the avocado slices and grapefruit sections. Toss gently. Take the avocado slices and grapefruit sections out of the bowl, one by one, and arrange them in a large ring on a round platter, slightly overlapping each other. Add the shrimp to the citrus and toss in the remaining vinaigrette. Mound the shrimp in the center of the ring. Garnish with the mint.

This salad was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with more herbs or spices.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my salad didn't turn out as flavorful as I expected. I think I might have used too much dressing.

This salad was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a serrano pepper instead of a jalapeño. Next time I'll use a milder pepper.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salad didn't turn out as good as the picture. The dressing was too thick and the shrimp was overcooked.
