SHRIMP TACO SALAD



Shrimp Taco Salad image

I created this main-dish salad to satisfy our family's love of shrimp. It has lots of contrasting textures, including firm taco-seasoned shrimp, crispy tortilla strips and hearty black beans. A convenient bag of salad greens cuts down on prep time, so I can have this meal ready in half an hour. -Ellen Morrell, Hazleton, Pennsylvania

1/3 cup cilantro leaves, roughly chopped, packed
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
Salt and pepper
1/2 pound jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined

After the shrimp have marinated, spray the bottom of a skillet with extra virgin olive oil or nonstick spray then saute in two batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, for 1 to 2 minutes a side, or until just barely cooked through. Set aside to cool slightly. Discard remaining marinade. Divide lettuce and red cabbage between plates then top with avocados, tomatoes, sauteed shrimp, and crushed tortilla chips. Sprinkle with sea salt, if desired, then drizzle dressing on top and serve.
