Ingredients

1/4 cup grapeseed oil
2 tablespoons Spanish-style smoked paprika
1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest
1 tablespoon coarsely cracked black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne
3 cloves garlic, minced
12 extra-large shrimp (U-12), peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
1/4 cup grape seed oil
1/4 cup olive oil
Coarse salt
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
4 loosely packed cups torn, soft lettuces, such as red oak and lolla rossa
1/4 cup finely diced red onion
1 mango, peeled, seeded, and diced
1 Haas avocado, peeled, seeded, and diced
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Make the marinade: Whisk together all the ingredients in a large bowl. Reserve 2 teaspoons of the marinade. Add the shrimp to the marinade and refrigerate for at least 3 hours and up to 6.
Make the vinaigrette: In a large bowl, whisk together the lime juice, mustard, zest, and reserved marinade. While whisking, drizzle in the oils to form a smooth vinaigrette. Set aside.
Make the salad: Remove the shrimp from the marinade; scrape off any excess marinade from the shrimp.
Season the shrimp, to taste, with salt. Heat the oil in a large skillet over a medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook, turning once, until just cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Remove the skillet from the heat.
In a bowl, toss together the onion, mango and avocado. Dress lightly with some of the vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
In a another bowl, lightly toss the lettuce with some of the vinaigrette and season with salt and pepper.
Mound the salad in the center of a platter and surround with the shrimp. Spoon some of the dressing over the shrimp and serve. (Reserve remaining vinaigrette for another use.)

I wasn't a fan of the citrus dressing. I think a vinaigrette would be a better choice.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I always have some in the freezer and this is a delicious way to use them.

This salad was a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of shrimp, mango, and avocado is always a winner, and the citrus dressing added a nice tang. I will definitely be making this again.
