Photo: Grilled Shrimp Salad Recipe
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/2 cup orange marmalade
- 3 large garlic cloves, minced (1 tablespoon)
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 4 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
- 1 pound large shrimp, about 16, shelled and deveined
- 4 wooden skewers
- 1 ripe avocado, peeled and quartered lengthwise, fanned out onto 4 plates
- 1 orange, peeled and sectioned (all pith and membranes removed)
- Fresh cilantro sprigs
Directions
In a medium non-reactive bowl, whisk together the lime juice, marmalade, garlic, cilantro, 7 tablespoons of the olive oil, soy sauce and dried hot red pepper flakes. Using a measuring cup, remove 1/2 cup and set aside, refrigerated. Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to combine thoroughly with the marinade. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Place the skewers in a shallow tray and cover with hot water. Set aside until you are ready to grill the shrimp.
Preheat a grill or broiler to medium heat.
Place the shrimp on the soaked wooden skewers. Lightly pat dry with paper towels and, using a brush, lightly coat the shrimp on both sides with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Grill for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until shrimp are golden brown on both sides and cooked through. Place the shrimp on top of the fanned avocado slices and season with salt to taste. Top with the orange segments then divide the reserved dressing evenly among the 4 plates and garnish with the cilantro sprigs. Serve immediately.

Great summer salad. Grilled 2 ears of corn and cut the kernals off the cob and added it to the salad. Marinate was great as the dressing for the salad.

Great shrimp recipe! Didn't cook the shrimp on the grill but on my grilling pan to save time and money! Loved the marinade..I didn't have limes so I used lemons instead..As far as the lettuce greens, I added what I had..Baby Greens, boiled eggs, grilled asparagus, tomatoes and pickled baby corn in a jar. The reserved marinade used as dressing was delicious...

ssssoooooooo good! I changed a couple things, didn't have cilantro and I used field greens as a base for a salad. I also added some corn, red pepper and onion to the salad. I also used half a can of mandrin oranges. This was a perfect, quick summer meal. I would say that the hour and six minute total time is over shooting it. this probably took me only a little over 30 minutes because I didn't use scewers and while the shrimp were marinating I got everything ready for the salads. Once the shrimp were done marinating I threw them on a grill pan for 4 minutes then divided them among the salads. I will be making this one again and again and again!!
