Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

2 large navel oranges
1 tablespoon heavy cream
1 tablespoon rice vinegar or white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/4 pounds extra-large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed
1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large ripe avocado, pitted and diced
1 Persian cucumber, thinly sliced into half moons
1 medium bulb fennel, trimmed, quartered, cored and very thinly sliced (on a mandoline or by hand), fronds reserved for garnish
2 heads butter lettuce, trimmed and torn into bite-size pieces

Steps:

For the dressing: Cut the top and bottom from an orange so it sits flat. Working from the top down, cut away the peel and pith to expose the flesh. Cut out the orange segments, leaving the membrane behind. Squeeze any juice from the membrane into a large bowl. Repeat with the remaining orange. You should have about 1/4 cup juice. Reserve the segments.
Whisk the cream, vinegar, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper into the orange juice. While whisking, pour in the olive oil in a slow, steady stream to make a creamy, slightly thick dressing. Chill while you make the salad.
For the salad: Sprinkle the shrimp with the Old Bay and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the shrimp in two batches until just cooked through, about 3 minutes per batch. Remove to a plate to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
Combine the shrimp, reserved orange segments, avocado, cucumber and fennel in the bowl with the dressing and toss gently. Mound the lettuce on a platter or individual plates and top with the salad. Garnish with fennel fronds.

A light, healthy way to enjoy shrimp. A great summer dish. You can also throw the shrimps on a skewer and BBQ on the grill.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 oranges, zested and juiced
3 limes, zested and juiced
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
3 cloves garlic
1 ½ pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined

Steps:

In a blender or food processor, combine the orange juice and zest, lime juice and zest, olive oil, garlic and salt. Be careful with the salt - the shrimp really suck it up! Cover, and puree until smooth.
Place shrimp in a bowl, and pour the citrus marinade over them. Let them marinate for 20 minutes at room temperature.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the shrimp about 3 minutes per side, in batches if necessary, until opaque. Spoon a little of the marinade in with them for extra flavor while they cook if you like.
