2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon champagne vinegar
Pinch kosher salt
1 bunch cilantro, leaves roughly chopped
1 lime, zested and juiced
1 green jalapeno, roughly chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
Olive oil, for grill
Kosher salt
18 to 24 shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 avocado, halved, pitted and flesh finely diced
Lime juice, to taste

Steps:

  • Granita: Add all the granita ingredients to a blender or food processor and puree. Strain the puree through a sieve into a medium bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 to 45 minutes. Transfer the chilled puree into a wide, shallow, heavy-bottomed container. (The shallower and wider the container, the more room you give the granita to freeze quickly.) Cover with foil or plastic wrap and freeze until it begins to appear solid around the edges, about 1 hour. Using a fork, scrape the ice from sides, mixing in from the edges into the center. Repeat this scraping and mixing process every 30 minutes, until the entire mixture has the consistency of shaved ice. Put back in freezer until ready to use.
  • Chopped salad: Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Shrimp: Combine the cilantro, lime zest and juice, jalapeno and olive oil in a blender or food processor. Set aside.
  • If using a gas grill, preheat the grill to high, direct heat. If using coals, allow the coals to burn down to glowing white embers. The grill is hot enough when you can hold your hand about 1-inch over it for only 1 second. Lightly grease the grill with olive oil to prevent sticking. Lightly salt the shrimp and thread each skewer with 3 shrimp. Grill shrimp approximately 2 minutes per side, basting with cilantro oil twice. Remove the shrimp from the grill and add the remaining cilantro oil to a small pan. Heat the oil until bubbling.
  • Add the avocado to a small bowl and drizzle with lime juice.
  • To serve, spoon some of the chopped salad on each serving plate and top with some granita. Add a few teaspoons of avocado, a skewer of shrimp and a drizzle of the hot cilantro oil. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use the freshest ingredients possible. This will ensure that your salad is flavorful and delicious.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp should be cooked just until it is opaque and pink. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and chewy.
  • Choose a ripe avocado. A ripe avocado will be dark green or black in color and will yield to gentle pressure. An unripe avocado will be hard and green.
  • Use a variety of greens. This will add color, texture, and flavor to your salad. Some good options include romaine lettuce, arugula, spinach, and kale.
  • Add other vegetables to your salad. Some good options include cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and bell pepper.
  • Use a light dressing. A heavy dressing will overwhelm the other flavors in the salad. A good option is a vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, and lemon juice.
  • Serve the salad immediately. Shrimp avocado salad is best enjoyed fresh.
