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.

BUFFALO SHRIMP SALAD



Buffalo Shrimp Salad image

The pairing of spicy Buffalo sauce with blue cheese is an American classic -- this salad brings the two together again with delicate sauteed shrimp and escarole.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes     Shrimp Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons butter
1 pound peeled, deveined large shrimp
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons hot sauce
8 cups torn escarole
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Crumbled blue cheese

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Add shrimp and salt and pepper, and saute until shrimp are opaque. Remove from heat and swirl in hot sauce. Let cool slightly, then toss with escarole and lemon juice. Season and sprinkle with cheese.

Tips:

  • To ensure the shrimp are cooked evenly, use large shrimp and grill them over medium heat. If you use smaller shrimp, they may cook too quickly and become overcooked.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the shrimp in a grill pan over medium heat. Just be sure to preheat the grill pan before adding the shrimp.
  • For a spicier salad, use a hotter buffalo sauce. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the buffalo sauce for an extra kick.
  • If you don't have blue cheese dressing, you can use ranch dressing instead. However, blue cheese dressing is the traditional dressing for buffalo shrimp salad.
  • To add some extra crunch to the salad, top it with crumbled bacon or croutons.

Conclusion:

Grilled buffalo shrimp salad is a delicious and easy-to-make salad that is perfect for a summer meal. The shrimp are grilled to perfection and tossed in a spicy buffalo sauce. The salad is then topped with blue cheese dressing, celery, and carrots. This salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
