Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1 teaspoon honey
3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon plus a pinch of salt
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
One 5-ounce bag prewashed mixed greens (about 8 cups)
2 oranges, peeled and segmented
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
1 ripe avocado, halved, seeded, and thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Combine the orange juice, lime juice, honey, 1/2 teaspoon of the crushed red pepper, the soy sauce, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt in a small nonreactive bowl. Whisk to blend. In a slow, steady stream, whisk in the 1/4 cup olive oil. Set the vinaigrette aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the remaining olive oil in a 12- inch saute pan over medium-high heat. In a bowl, toss the shrimp with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper. Add the shrimp to the pan, in two batches if necessary, and cook until they have curled and are just cooked through, 2 minutes on each side. Transfer the shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate and reserve.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the greens, oranges, red onion, and pinch of salt. Whisk the vinaigrette, and add 3 tablespoons to the salad. Toss lightly to combine, and then divide the salad among four serving plates. Take 3 to 4 slices of the avocado and fan them out on top of each salad. Divide the shrimp evenly among the salads. Drizzle a little more vinaigrette over the shrimp and avocado, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe avocados.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can sear the shrimp in a hot skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they will become tough.
  • Serve the salad immediately after preparing it, so the avocados don't brown.
  • For a more flavorful salad, use a variety of herbs and spices in the dressing.
  • If you're using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • If you're short on time, you can use pre-cooked shrimp.
  • Add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice to the salad before serving for an extra burst of flavor.

Conclusion:

This seared shrimp and avocado salad is a healthy and delicious meal that's perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover shrimp. The shrimp are seared until they're slightly charred and crispy, and the avocado adds a creamy, rich flavor.
