Servings: 4
Ingredients
Shrimp
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- zest of 1 lime
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 clove garlic, finely grated
Salad
- 5 cups mixed greens, (romaine, arugula, spinach, or spring mix)
- 1 cup cucumber, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cup creamy lime and black pepper dressing, (link in the Ingredients section)
Instructions
- Mix the olive oil, lime juice, zest, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, and garlic.
- Add the shrimp to the marinade and let them sit for 10–15 minutes. Do not leave the shrimp in the marinade longer than this, as the lime juice will start to “cook” the shrimp, as with ceviche.
- Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high.
- Thread the shrimp onto pre-soaked bamboo skewers and grill them for 2–3 minutes per side until just opaque with light charring.
- Arrange greens on a platter and scatter over cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and avocado.
- Lay the warm shrimp over the salad.
- Drizzle with dressing.
