FARFALLE SALAD WITH GRILLED SHRIMP AND BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Prepare grill.
• In a bowl toss shrimp with salt to taste. Thread shrimp on metal skewers and grill on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until cooked through, about 3 minutes on each side. (Alternatively, shrimp may be cooked without skewers in a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan over high heat.)
• In a 6-quart kettle bring 5 quarts salted water to a boil and cook broccoli until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer broccoli with a slotted spoon to a colander and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Drain broccoli well and transfer to a bowl.
• In same kettle of salted boiling water cook farfalle until just tender and drain in colander, rinsing under cold water to stop cooking.
• In a large bowl stir together tomatoes with reserved juice, vinegar, garlic paste, sugar, thyme, and parsley. Add farfalle, broccoli, shrimp, pepper, and salt to taste and toss to coat. Just before serving add oil to salad and toss to coat. Salad may be made 2 hours ahead and chilled, covered.

BROCCOLI SHRIMP SALAD

Steps:

• 1. You can use the quantity of broccoli that you would like, this recipe is pretty flexible.
• 2. You can use the broccoli raw, but I prefer to blanch it. To blanch the broccoli bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Place the broccoli in the water making sure all broccoli is under water and leave for only 1 minute. Then drain the water from the broccoli and put in ice water to stop the cooking.
• 3. Put the broccoli in a bowl and add the chopped onion, shrimp that has been rinsed, water chestnuts (rinsed), and mayonnaise. Stir together and add salt and pepper to taste.
