SPICY SHRIMP AND CHICKPEA SALAD



Spicy Shrimp and Chickpea Salad image

This warm salad of garlicky shrimp and herby chickpeas comes together in just 15 minutes and requires very little effort. Canned chickpeas, Fresno chiles, parsley and red onion get a quick marinade in a creamy citrus dressing while the shrimp cooks in a little garlic and olive oil. Fresno chile adds a little heat, but if you're sensitive to spice, you can remove the membranes and seeds before adding the chile to the salad. Make the dish your own by adding arugula, or swap the parsley for cilantro or the shrimp for scallops. Serve warm with a hunk of crusty bread, and enjoy leftovers straight from the fridge the next day with a squeeze of lime or lemon juice.

Time 15m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 medium lemon, zested and juiced
1 lime, zested and halved
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
5 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/2 small red onion, diced (about 1/4 cup)
1 Fresno chile or jalapeño, cut into thin coins or seeded and diced
1 packed cup parsley leaves and tender stems, roughly chopped
2 large garlic cloves, grated or minced
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined, patted dry

Steps:

  • In a large serving bowl, combine the lemon zest and juice, lime zest and mustard. Whisk in 3 tablespoons olive oil until smooth; season with salt and pepper. Add the chickpeas, onion, chile and most of the parsley (reserving some for garnish), and toss to coat with the dressing. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Add the garlic and red-pepper flakes, and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds, pulling the pan from the heat briefly if it seems like the garlic is burning.
  • Add the shrimp to the pan, season with salt and pepper and stir to coat with the garlic and oil. Cook until the shrimp are pink all over with a golden crust in parts, stirring and flipping the shrimp halfway through, about 4 to 6 minutes total. Turn off the heat, then squeeze the lime juice over the shrimp in the pan, stirring to combine and scraping up anything on the bottom of the pan to coat the shrimp.
  • Serve the shrimp on top of the salad. Garnish with the remaining parsley and serve.
