Ingredients

Shrimp:

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons finely chopped pepperoncini
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
24 large shrimp (about 1 pound), peeled, deveined

Salad:

1/3 cup full-flavored extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
10 cups fresh arugula, large leaves torn in half
4 ounces large button mushrooms, thinly sliced
2 ounces shaved Parmesan

Directions

To make the shrimp: Heat the oil in a heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Add the pepperoncini and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Toss the shrimp in a medium bowl with 2 teaspoons of the pepperoncini oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for high heat or preheat the grill pan over a high flame. Grill the shrimp until just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Toss the shrimp with the remaining pepperoncini oil to coat.

Meanwhile, to make the salad: Whisk the extra-virgin olive oil and lemon juice in a medium bowl to blend. Season the dressing, to taste, with salt and pepper.

Top the arugula with mushrooms in a large bowl. Season the salad, to taste, with salt and pepper. Surround with the warm grilled shrimp and shaved Parmesan. Add dressing and toss before service. Serve immediately. Mound the salad in the center of large plates.

surprise
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The dressing tasted nasty by itself, but was surprisingly perfect with the salad as a whole. Who'da thought? I only used... about half of the dressing, as I used a little less salad greens as it was just the two of us. I added a little bit of chopped fresh dill and dill seed to the dressing because it tasted so lemony. Read more

This recipe was good, but I wasn't extremely fond of the olive oil dressing. Next time I'll use this as a side salad with a... different dressing. It was very filling, I just don't think it screams "main dish!"Read more

Unexpectantly EXCELLENT
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was leary of this recipe because of the peppercini, I thought it might be too strong. I was W R O N G! This is truly an... excellent, fast and healthy meal! I sauteed the mushrooms and added fresh, thinly sliced red onion to give it more texture. My chef inspired hisband was very impressed and I can't wait to see if my daughters will like it! THANK YOU!Read more

So easy and extremely filling!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This receipe was fantastic and so easy to make; and EXTREMELY filling--I served it with some garlic bread, but the bread was... unnecessary for two people--it makes a FULL dinner by itself for two! Very very good. I couldn't find arugula, so I just used a spring mix, which turned out fine.Read more

Umm--spicy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I didn't try the arugula salad, but did make the grilled shrimp. I loved the bite from the pepperoncini oil--not too... overpowering, but clearly popped with heat. Combined it with a little olive oil and garlic pasta and some fresh grilled veggies on the side for a very tasty dinner. Thanks, Giada.Read more
