GRILLED SPICE RUBBED SHRIMP "NICOISE" SALAD

Steps:

• Whisk together vinegar, garlic and anchovy paste and season with salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil and set aside.
• Prepare a large bowl with ice water and set aside. Bring a medium pot of cold water to a boil then season with a tablespoon of salt. Add the beans and cook for approximately 3 to 4 minutes or until just crisp tender. Drain and immediately plunge into the ice water to stop the cooking. Let sit in the ice water for a few minutes, and then drain well. Place potatoes in a medium saucepan, cover with cold water, season with 1 tablespoon of salt and cook until almost cooked through (a knife or skewer inserted into the center goes in with a little resistance). Drain well and place on a baking sheet to cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, slice potatoes lengthwise, brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on the grill, cut side down and cook until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes, turn over and grill until just cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes longer. Place cooked beans, grilled potatoes, tomatoes, onions, basil and parsley in a large bowl, add the vinaigrette and gently toss to combine, season with salt and pepper. Cover and let sit at room temperature while you prepare the shrimp.
• Heat the grill to high. Combine the fennel, mustard, coriander, salt and pepper in a bowl. Place shrimp in a large bowl and toss with the spice rub until evenly coated. Place the shrimp on the grates of the grill in an even layer and grill until golden brown and slightly charred, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Turn the shrimp over and continue grilling until just cooked through, 45 seconds to 1 minute longer. Remove the shrimp to a platter. Arrange the vegetables on 4 large plates and top each salad with 5 to 6 shrimp.

SPICY SHRIMP AND AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• Dice the romaine into bite sized pieces, place in large salad bowl and set aside. In a medium non-stick pan heat the olive oil. Add the avocado and saute for 5 minutes. Remove the avocado with a slotted spoon and set aside in a bowl. Pour out all but 2 tablespoons of avocado oil into a small bowl, and reserve.
• Add the minced shallot to the skillet and return to medium heat. Cook, stirring until shallots begin to soften (about 30 seconds). Add the shrimp, salt and pepper and jalapenos or cayenne, if using, and saute until shrimp are cooked through (3-4 minutes).
• Remove from heat and spoon the shrimp into the bowl with the Avocado pieces. Add the chives and cilantro and fold together gently, just to combine the ingredients. With a rubber spatula, scrape any remaining oil in the skillet into the bowl with the reserved avocado oil. Whisk in the lime juice and salt and pepper to taste to make a dressing. Toss some of the dressing with the romaine until the lettuce is nicely coated, divide among serving plates. Top the lettuce with hot shrimp mixture, drizzle with additional dressing, garnish with cilantro and serve.

SUPER SHRIMP AND VEGGIE PASTA SALAD

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente. Drain and rinse in cold water.
• In a large bowl, combine pasta, green pepper, red pepper, onion, celery, olives and shrimp. In a separate bowl mix together: salad dressing, mustard, sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper; pour over salad. Can be served immediately, but best when chilled a few hours.

SPICY SHRIMP SALAD

SHRIMP AND VEGETABLE SALAD

Steps:

• Bring some salted water to a boil and add the asparagus and pea pods. Cook only for a few minutes, until they turn a bright green color and are tender enough to eat, but still have a bit of crunch to them. Drain and set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, salt and pepper the shrimp to taste and sprinkle with a light coating of paprika. Coat the bottom of a medium frying pan with olive oil and heat until hot, then add shrimp. Salt and pepper the other side and sprinkle paprika. Sear shrimp, then turn to sear the other side. Shrimp cook quickly, so this won't take long. Remove from skillet and set aside to cool.
• Mix the sour cream, lime zest, lime juice, rosemary and red pepper to taste in a bowl. Let sit together in the fridge for at least an hour or two, to allow the flavors to come together.
• When you're ready to serve, combine the veggies, shrimp, tomato wedges and sour cream mixture in a bowl and mix to coat everything evenly.
• Place 3 large lettuce leaves on each plate and place the shrimp and veggies in the center.
• Serve with some additional lime wedges if desired and a nice tall glass of unsweetened iced tea.
• It's the perfect meal for a hot summer night! We have lots of those here in South Florida, so I make this often, changing the shrimp to chicken or scallops.
