- 10 oz raw shrimp
- 1 tsp garlic chopped
- 2 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp lemon zest
- 1/4 tsp ground pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
- 4 oz romaine chopped
- 4 oz European cucumber chopped
- 6 oz bell pepper
- 4 oz cherry tomatoes halved
- 4 oz avocado cubed
- 2 oz roasted corn
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp traditional Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tbsp honey
Peel and devein the shrimp.
Add parsley, garlic, lemon zest, ⅛ teaspoon of salt, and ⅛ teaspoon of pepper to a small bowl and stir. Add shrimp and let marinate for 10 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Roast the bell peppers for 15-20 minutes. Once done, move the cooked peppers to a plate. Then put the shrimp on the same baking sheet used and roast for about 3 minutes on each side.
Cut the roasted bell peppers into 1-inch pieces and save for assembly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining salt, pepper, olive oil, mustard, honey, and lemon juice.
In a large salad bowl, combine cucumber, tomatoes, romaine lettuce, bell peppers, avocado, corn, and shrimp. Toss well with the dressing. Serve immediately.
- Shrimp salad is often served slightly chilled, but it’s fine to keep the dish at room temperature too (just don’t leave it out for more than 2 hours).
- Once drizzled with the dressing, the salad should be served right away to maintain the crispness of the lettuce.
