SHRIMP AND PAPAYA SALAD



Shrimp and Papaya Salad image

This summer salad can make a light but satisfying lunch or supper. You buy the shrimp already cooked. Serve the salad with a small bowl of broth and some buttered warm crackers. For something sweet to finish this light meal, I love to get a good thick bar of chocolate, break it into chunks and serve it with iced coffee topped with whipped cream.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 pounds cooked bay shrimp
1 papaya
1 head butter or Boston lettuce
A few sprigs parsley
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 cup mayonnaise
Salt

Steps:

  • Preparing the Shrimp
  • Rinse the cooked shrimp under cold running water, pat dry with paper towels, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate.
  • Preparing the Papaya
  • Cut the papaya in half lengthwise, and 1) use the spoon to scoop out and discard the seeds. Peel off the skin with a paring knife and discard, then place the papaya cut side down on a cutting board. 2) Use a sharp knife to cut the fruit lengthwise into slices 1/2 inch wide, then slice those pieces crosswise into 1/2-inch chunks. Remember that a ripe papaya is fragile, and will turn to mush if harshly handled.
  • Finishing the Salad
  • Rinse the lettuce leaves and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Rinse the parley and pat dry; remove the stems and discard. Finely chop the leaves.
  • Arrange 2 or 3 lettuce leaves on each serving plate, making them into a bed for the salad.
  • Stir the milk into the mayonnaise to thin it.
  • Distribute the shrimp and papaya onto the 4 plates. Sprinkle on salt, drizzle the dressing over each serving, and scatter some chopped parsley on top. Serve.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes     Shrimp Recipes

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 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.

Drizzle a little more vinaigrette over the shrimp and avocado, and serve immediately.

SHRIMP AND AVOCADO SALAD WITH GRAPEFRUIT VINAIGRETTE



Shrimp and Avocado Salad With Grapefruit Vinaigrette image

This is a light, refreshing salad I created to cope with the summer heat. I really like the combination of tart grapefruit with buttery avocado and crunchy almonds. The shrimp adds enough protein for this to be considered a meal. Since it's summer, I tossed the shrimp on the grill for an added smoky flavor, but shrimp sautéed in a little olive oil would be just as delicious. The dressing is very light and just enough to tie the whole salad together. My grapefruit was fairly sweet, but if yours are too tart, you can always add a little honey to the dressing.

Provided by Diet It Up

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

16 jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 ruby grapefruits
1/4 cup ruby red grapefruit juice (reserved from cutting fruit segments)
1 lime
1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
3 tablespoons olive oil
salt & pepper
2 avocados
1/2 cup slivered almonds
6 ounces Baby Spinach

Steps:

  • Brush shrimp with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, season with salt and pepper and grill on medium high heat about 1 minute on each side or until cooked through.
  • Cut avocado into slices and toss in a bowl with the juice from ½ a lime.
  • Add slivered almonds to a dry pan and toast on medium high heat until slightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Cut the grapefruits into segments, reserving the juice. You should get about ¼ cup of juice from two grapefruits. Set the fruit segments aside and combine the grapefruit juice, juice from ½ a lime, and ginger in a small bowl. Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of olive oil while whisking. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Toss the spinach and grapefruit segments with the dressing.
  • Top the salad with shrimp, avocado slices and toasted almonds.
