Fresh, tangy, delectable. That is what I’ll say about a tasty shrimp salad!
Ingredients
- 2¼ tablespoons white wine vinegar
- ½ teaspoons salt
- ½ tablespoons chili powder
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cups butterhead lettuce
- 2 grapefruits
- 2 avocados
- 10 ounces shrimp
- 1 sprig scallion, including top, thinly sliced
- 4 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 1 pinch pepper flakes or paprika
Directions
- Combine white wine vinegar, salt, chili powder and olive oil together in a small bowl and whisk them all up.
- Wash the lettuce carefully and tear them to medium-sized pieces. Get the avocados peeled and cut in slices, and grapefruits peeled and cut into segments.
- Boil the shrimps in preheat temperature until they turn opaque and pink. Remove them from the pot and chill.
- Toss the lettuce, cooked shrimps, avocados and grapefruits in the dressing that has been made at the first step.
- Assemble the salad in a large dish. Top it with scallion, cilantro or pepper flakes if you wish to.
- Notes - Shrimp salad is often served slightly chilled, but it’s all fine to keep the dish at room temperature too. - Once drizzled with the dressing, the salad should be served right after that to avoid the lettuce becoming too mushy.
