1 lb large shrimp in shells (about 22 to 24), peeled and deveined
1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon minced peeled fresh ginger
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 lb jicama, peeled and cut into 1/8-inch-thick matchsticks

Halve shrimp lengthwise by cutting down middle of backs and cook in a saucepan of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain in a colander and spread on a large plate to cool.
Whisk together vinegar, garlic, ginger, and oil, then add shrimp and remaining ingredients and toss to combine well. Season salad with salt and pepper.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 pound large shell-on or peeled shrimp
4 lobster tails (about 2 pounds total), halved lengthwise
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Kosher salt
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
5 tablespoons (or more) fresh lime juice, divided
2 cups 3x1/4x1/4" pieces peeled jicama (from one 1-pound jicama)
2 cups hardy greens, such as purslane or watercress sprigs, with tender stems
2 cups thinly sliced tomatillos or small green tomatoes (about 8 medium)
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves with tender stems plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons Ancho Chile Oil or store-bought chili oil

Steps:

Build a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to high. If using shell-on shrimp, use small scissors to cut shells along the curved backs. Remove veins, keeping shells intact. Place shrimp and lobster in a large bowl; drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil and season with salt. Mix onion and 2 tablespoons lime juice in a small bowl.
Grill shrimp until just opaque in center, 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a large plate. Grill lobster tails, flesh side down, until slightly charred, 1-2 minutes. Turn flesh side up and grill until just opaque in center, about 5 minutes longer. Add lobster tails to plate with shrimp and let rest for 5-10 minutes. Remove lobster meat from shells; discard shells. Cut lobster into 1" pieces.
Drain red onion; place in a large bowl. Add 3 tablespoons lime juice, 2 tablespoons oil, jicama, greens, tomatillos, and 1 cup cilantro. Season with salt and more lime juice, if desired. Add seafood; toss to coat. Drizzle Ancho Chile Oil over; garnish with cilantro.
