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
1/2 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 small green onion, chopped
1/2 tablespoon hoisin sauce
Pinch of white pepper
1/2 pound (10) large shrimp
1/2 tablespoon red 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, devein, and clean the shrimp; rinse in cold water and set aside to chill for 30 minutes.

Cook the shrimp in a nonstick skillet on medium heat with 1 tablespoon of the marinade for two to three 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.

To serve: On each of two chilled serving plates, place a bed of Bibb lettuce and spoon the shrimp onto the lettuce. Serve.
