Luscious Lime Shrimp Salad

Looking for a crisp and delicious dish perfect for spring? This fresh salad will awaken your taste buds and inspire your senses.

Serves 2

Ingredients:

½ tsp EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)

1 Tbsp chopped cilantro

1 ½ Tbsp fresh lime juice

¼ tsp minced garlic

½ small green onion, chopped

½ Tbsp Hoisin sauce

Pinch of white pepper

½ lb. (10) large shrimp

½ Tbsp red bell pepper (minced)

Bibb Lettuce

Instructions:

In a large bowl, whisk the lime juice, green onion, cilantro, olive oil, garlic, Hoisin sauce, and white pepper together to make a marinade.

Peel, de-vein and clean the shrimp, rinse in cold water and set aside to chill for 30 minutes.

Cook the shrimp in a non-stick skillet on medium heat with 1 Tablespoon of the marinade for 2 or 3 minutes. It’s done when it turns pink. Pour the skillet contents into the marinade bowl, add the red pepper, toss and set aside to chill. Place two serving dishes with the shrimp to chill.

Note: the shrimp is not marinated until after it is cooked…no contamination risk.
