Shrimp On Snow Peas With Avocado Citrus Dressing Food

SHRIMP, SPICED MANGO, AND AVOCADO SALAD WITH CITRUS DRESSING

Steps:

• Make the marinade: Whisk together all the ingredients in a large bowl. Reserve 2 teaspoons of the marinade. Add the shrimp to the marinade and refrigerate for at least 3 hours and up to 6.
• Make the vinaigrette: In a large bowl, whisk together the lime juice, mustard, zest, and reserved marinade. While whisking, drizzle in the oils to form a smooth vinaigrette. Set aside.
• Make the salad: Remove the shrimp from the marinade; scrape off any excess marinade from the shrimp.
• Season the shrimp, to taste, with salt. Heat the oil in a large skillet over a medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook, turning once, until just cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Remove the skillet from the heat.
• In a bowl, toss together the onion, mango and avocado. Dress lightly with some of the vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• In a another bowl, lightly toss the lettuce with some of the vinaigrette and season with salt and pepper.
• Mound the salad in the center of a platter and surround with the shrimp. Spoon some of the dressing over the shrimp and serve. (Reserve remaining vinaigrette for another use.)

CITRUS SHRIMP AND AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• Prepare the recipe for the Pan-Seared Citrus Shrimp, or gently warm the leftover shrimp. Or, if you prefer, serve the shrimp chilled.
• Toss the shrimp with the salad greens in a large bowl.
• Lightly drizzle with olive oil, and if desired, some of the sauce remaining from the shrimp with a generous squeeze of citrus, and toss lightly to coat.
• Add the avocado, shallots and sliced almonds and then season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper and serve.

SHRIMP AND AVOCADO SALAD WITH CITRUS VINAIGRETTE (CAMARONES A LA VINAGRETA)

Steps:

• Cook the shrimp: In a pot, combine 1 quart water with 1 tablespoon salt. Add peppercorns and bay leaves and bring to a boil over high heat.
• Prepare an ice bath: Add enough ice to a large bowl until half full. Sprinkle the ice with 2 tablespoons salt and top with enough cold water to cover. Set aside.
• When the water boils, stir the shrimp into the hot water and turn off the heat. Let cook until just pink and opaque, 1 to 2 minutes depending on size of shrimp. Drain shrimp and transfer to the ice bath. Stir well and set aside until shrimp are completely chilled, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain shrimp again and transfer to paper or kitchen towels to dry.
• Make the dressing: In a medium bowl, stir together tomatoes, red onion, oil, fruit juices, herbs and mustard. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add shrimp, toss to coat and chill for at least 1 hour (or up to 1 day).
• When ready to serve, peel and dice the avocado and fold into the shrimp salad. Serve chilled, in a serving bowl or on individual plates lined with lettuce leaves.

SHRIMP WITH APPLES AND SNOW PEAS

Steps:

• Blanch snow peas in boiling water for about 3 minutes, then plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process; set aside.
• In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter and saute apple slices over medium heat about 5 minutes.
• Sprinkle slices with the sugar and raise the heat, stirring slices constantly until they are lightly caramelized; reserve slices.
• In the same skillet, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter and lightly cook the minced onion, covered, about 25 minutes or until soft and lightly colored; raise heat and add shrimp, cooking about 3 minutes or until firm and pink.
• Remove shrimp from skillet and reserve.
• Pour the wine into the skillet and reduce it by 2/3 over high heat.
• Reduce heat and whisk in the mustard.
• Pour in the cream and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes or until sauce is reduced slightly.
• Drain snow peas thoroughly and pat dry; add them to the mustard-cream sauce along with the apples and shrimp; simmer together for 1 minute and serve over rice or pasta.

SHRIMP WITH SNOW PEAS AND TOMATOES

• Pluck off and discard the ends of each snow pea.
• Drop tomatoes into a pot of boiling water, let stand about 10 seconds. Remove and peel. Cut away cores, then cut tomatoes into 1/2-inch cubes.
