3 tablespoons orange juice
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 pound large peeled and deveined cooked shrimp
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 (10 ounce) bag baby spinach leaves
1 mango - peeled, seeded and diced
½ cup chopped macadamia nuts
½ cup dried banana chips
4 ounces crumbled goat cheese

  • To assemble the salads, drizzle the spinach mixture with the salad dressing, and toss until evenly combined. Divide onto four plates. Divide the warm shrimp among the plates, and top with goat cheese. This way the goat cheese will melt down a little from the warmth of the grilled shrimp.

Spinach Salad with Spiced Shrimp and Mango image

Mango multitasks in this quick weeknight meal. Cool slices contrast with just-seared shrimp, and the remaining fruit that clings to the pit makes a sweet-tart nearly nonfat dressing when pureed with lime juice.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes     Shrimp Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 medium red onion, very thinly sliced (about 1 cup)

10 ounces large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails intact
1 teaspoon coarse salt
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine onion and 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon lime juice. Cover, and let stand for at least 3 hours, stirring occasionally.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better your salad will taste. If possible, use organic produce.
  • Cook the rice according to the package directions, but reduce the cooking time by 5 minutes. This will give the rice a slightly crunchy texture.
  • Make sure the shrimp is cooked through. You can do this by cooking them in a skillet over medium heat until they are pink and opaque.
  • Cool the rice and shrimp completely before assembling the salad. This will help prevent the salad from becoming soggy.
  • Use a light dressing. A heavy dressing will overwhelm the delicate flavors of the spinach, shrimp, and rice.
  • Serve the salad immediately. This salad is best served fresh. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

This spinach, wild rice, and shrimp salad is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for lunch or dinner. It is packed with protein, fiber, and vitamins, and it is also low in calories and fat. If you are looking for a healthy and satisfying salad, this is the one for you!
