SPICY SHRIMP AND AVOCADO SALAD WITH GRAPEFRUIT DRESSING



Spicy Shrimp and Avocado Salad with Grapefruit Dressing image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 cups water
1/4 cup chopped fresh ginger, with peel
3 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
1 tablespoon pickling spice
1 1/2 pounds medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 medium grapefruit
8 thin slices fresh ginger
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus additional for brushing
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus additional for seasoning
Freshly ground black pepper
2 heads Bibb or Boston lettuce, trimmed, leaves torn into pieces
12 large fresh basil leaves, torn
1 small serrano chile, minced (leave the seeds in for more heat)
2 Hass avocados, halved, pitted, peeled, and sliced

Steps:

  • For the shrimp: Put 1 cup of water, chopped ginger, salt, sugar, garlic, and pickling spice in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then pour into a large bowl. Add 1 cup of cold water and set brine aside to cool completely. Add shrimp and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • For the salad: Strip the peel from half of 1 of the grapefruits with a vegetable peeler, taking care not to include the bitter white pith. Warm the grapefruit peel, sliced ginger, and olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. As soon as the oil starts to bubble, about 2 minutes, remove from heat. Set oil aside to steep 30 minutes. Strain and reserve the oil.
  • Prepare an outdoor grill with a medium fire.
  • Segment both grapefruit over a bowl, reserving the juice (see page 000). Whisk 3 tablespoons of the reserved grapefruit juice with the vinegar, soy sauce, honey, and 12 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in the infused grapefruit oil, starting with a few drops and then adding the rest of the oil in a steady stream to make a slightly thick dressing. Season with black pepper to taste.
  • Remove shrimp from brine and pat dry. Brush shrimp with olive oil and grill, turning once, until shrimp are pink and just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Gently toss the shrimp, grapefruit segments, lettuce, basil, and 12 teaspoon serrano with 14 cup of the dressing. Gently toss in avocados and divide the salad among 4 plates. Sprinkle with the remaining serrano, if desired, and drizzle with a little more of the dressing.

SEAFOOD SALAD WITH SHRIMP AND CRAB



Seafood Salad With Shrimp and Crab image

This is my favorite spring and summer salad. It's a great opening act for any seafood dinner and it makes a really good snack or appetizer. I like it with Captain's Wafers. After mixing it, I pack it into individual 1 cup containers so it's ready to grab and go. I take it to work for lunch quite often. Cooking time is chilling time.

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

Tips:

  • To save time, buy pre-cooked shrimp. If using raw shrimp, cook them before assembling the salad. You can boil, grill, or sauté the shrimp.
  • Use ripe avocado and papaya. Unripe fruits will not have the same flavor or texture.
  • If you don't have grapefruit, you can use orange or lemon instead.
  • To make the dressing, you can use either olive oil or avocado oil. You can also add a touch of honey or maple syrup to sweeten the dressing.
  • Serve the salad immediately after assembling. The avocado and papaya will start to brown if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

This seared shrimp salad with avocado, papaya, and grapefruit is a healthy and delicious meal that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The shrimp is cooked perfectly and the avocado, papaya, and grapefruit add a refreshing and tropical flavor to the salad. The dressing is light and tangy, and it perfectly complements the other ingredients. If you are looking for a new and exciting salad recipe, this is the one for you.
