SHRIMP AND AVOCADO SALAD WITH CITRUS VINAIGRETTE (CAMARONES A LA VINAGRETA)



Shrimp and Avocado Salad With Citrus Vinaigrette (Camarones a la Vinagreta) image

Versions of seafood "coctel" are found around the Caribbean, usually with ketchup as a base for the sauce. In this recipe adapted from Von Diaz's "Coconuts and Collards" cookbook, the tomato and onion are part of the salad, and the dressing is based on citrus and olive oil, plus a bit of mustard to make it creamy. It's a refreshing and satisfying dish for hot weather, perfect with a cold beer at the end of a long summer day. Diced avocado makes the dish more filling, but it is optional.

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 black peppercorns
2 dried bay leaves
1 pound fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 ripe plum tomatoes, diced (or 12 cherry tomatoes, quartered)
2 tablespoons chopped red onion
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lime, lemon, grapefruit or any tart citrus juice
1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, culantro (also called recao) or flat-leaf parsley (or a combination)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano or thyme
1/8 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 ripe avocado
Whole lettuce leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Cook the shrimp: In a pot, combine 1 quart water with 1 tablespoon salt. Add peppercorns and bay leaves and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Prepare an ice bath: Add enough ice to a large bowl until half full. Sprinkle the ice with 2 tablespoons salt and top with enough cold water to cover. Set aside.
  • When the water boils, stir the shrimp into the hot water and turn off the heat. Let cook until just pink and opaque, 1 to 2 minutes depending on size of shrimp. Drain shrimp and transfer to the ice bath. Stir well and set aside until shrimp are completely chilled, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain shrimp again and transfer to paper or kitchen towels to dry.
  • Make the dressing: In a medium bowl, stir together tomatoes, red onion, oil, fruit juices, herbs and mustard. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add shrimp, toss to coat and chill for at least 1 hour (or up to 1 day).
  • When ready to serve, peel and dice the avocado and fold into the shrimp salad. Serve chilled, in a serving bowl or on individual plates lined with lettuce leaves.

GRILLED JERK SHRIMP



Grilled Jerk Shrimp image

Sweet shrimp are the perfect canvas for this spicy jerk seasoning made with fresh chiles, fragrant thyme, scallions, garlic and spices. After a quick 15-minute marinade, the shrimp cook in mere minutes, picking up great char and smoky flavor from the grill. (You can even mimic the results indoors by broiling the shrimp on a sheet pan 6 inches from the heat for about 4 minutes.) This recipe comes with a warning: This is a superhot rub. For less heat but still spicy results, use just one chile; for an even milder version, remove the seeds from the chile before blending it. Should you have any jerk shrimp leftovers, they are great tossed into salad or tucked into tacos the next day.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons neutral oil, such as safflower or canola, plus more for greasing the grates
3 scallions, 2 chopped into 1-inch pieces and 1 thinly sliced for garnish
1 to 2 Scotch bonnet or habanero chiles, stemmed and halved (and seeds removed, for less heat, if desired)
5 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, plus wedges for serving
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon turbinado or light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound cleaned large, tail-on shrimp

Steps:

  • Heat grill to medium-high and grease the grates with oil.
  • In a food processor, combine the 2 chopped scallions with the chiles and garlic, and pulse until finely chopped. Add the thyme, lime juice, soy sauce, sugar, allspice, salt, pepper and the 3 tablespoons of oil; pulse until a coarse paste forms. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl, add the shrimp and toss until evenly coated. Let stand for 15 minutes, tossing occasionally.
  • Working in batches, grill shrimp directly on the grill grates until nicely charred and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a serving platter, garnish with the sliced scallions and serve with lime wedges.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, succulent shrimp. This is the star of the dish, so make sure it's of the highest quality.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so just a few minutes in the pan is all it needs.
  • Make the lime vinaigrette ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add color, texture, and nutrients to the salad.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. This is a great way to personalize the salad to your taste.

Conclusion:

Caribbean shrimp salad with lime vinaigrette is a refreshing, flavorful, and healthy dish that's perfect for a summer meal. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a light and delicious lunch or dinner, give this recipe a try.
