Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound arugula
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Chile-Lime Vinaigrette, recipe follows
  • Grilled Tamarind Shrimp, recipe follows
  • 1 medium jicama, peeled and julienned
  • 3 ears grilled corn, kernels only
  • 1 pint pear tomatoes, halved
  • 10 square wonton wrappers, thinly sliced and deep fried

Directions

Fill a large bowl with cold water and soak the arugula to remove any dirt and sand. Once clean, pat the greens dry and place in a large mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with the vinaigrette, just enough to coat the greens. Equally divide the arugula and place into 4 shallow bowls. Arrange 3 shrimp on top of the greens and garnish with the jicama, corn, tomatoes, and fried wonton wrappers.

Chile-Lime Vinaigrette:

  • 1/2 cup sesame oil
  • 1 cup lime juice
  • 1 cup rice vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Korean chile flakes
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups canola oil
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

In a food processor, add the sesame oil, lime juice, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, chile flakes, and fish sauce. While the processor is running, slowly add the oil. Season with salt, pepper, and sugar. The vinaigrette should be tart, but hold a hint of sweetness.

Grilled Tamarind Shrimp:

  • 12 medium shrimps
  • 1/2 package of tamarind
  • 1/2 cup mirin
  • 2 cups hot water
  • 2 tablespoons molasses
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha

In a large mixing bowl, combine the tamarind, mirin, hot water, molasses, garlic, lime juice, and sriracha. Pour the mixture into a shallow sheet pan and add the shrimp, turning to coat. Allow the shrimp to marinate for 1 to 2 hours maximum, refrigerated. Prepare a hot grill or a 500 degree oven and grill/broil the shrimp for about 5 minutes.

    Talk about easy, impressive and quick! I marinated the shrimp for 30 minutes and have everything prepped in the 30 minutes and broiled the shrimp for 5 minutes and everything was on the table in 35 minutes! It was so satisying and tasty. Love the wonton skins and the tamarind/lime flavor! Great recipe!
