Ingredients
Shrimp + Salad:
- ½ teaspoon EACH: garlic powder, lemon zest, AND red pepper flakes
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon EACH: lemon juice, chopped parsley, AND butter, cold (cut into small pieces)
- 6-7 cups arugula (or a spinach and arugula mix)
- ½ cup chopped red onions
- 2 avocados, sliced
- 1 can (10-ounce) mandarin slices
- ¼ cup sliced almonds AND toasted sesame, for sprinkling
Orange-Miso Dressing:
-
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons orange juice
- 2 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 -3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon EACH: white miso paste AND sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon EACH: grated ginger AND orange zest
Instructions
- SHRIMP: In a bowl, toss the shrimp with the garlic powder, red pepper flakes, a big pinch of kosher salt and pepper. Add the olive oil to a large skillet and place it over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp to the pan and spread it out so they cook evenly. Cook for 1 minute, tossing as needed. Add the lemon juice, then the parsley and the cubed butter and swirl the pan so the butter starts to melt slowly. The butter will form a thick type of sauce as it melts in. Remove from heat and set aside.
- DRESSING: Combine all the ingredients for the dressing in a food processor starting with 2 tablespoons of honey. Blend until the dressing is smooth. Taste and adjust with additional honey. I prefer this with around 3 tablespoons of honey.
- ASSEMBLE: Divide the arugula (or spinach) amongst bowls if you’re making individual servings or in a large bowl if it’s family style, top with red onions, avocado slices, mandarin oranges, and prepared shrimp. Drizzle with dressing as desired and top with sliced almonds and toasted sesame seeds. If you’re meal prepping this salad, keep the salad portion and the dressing separate; just toss and enjoy when it’s lunchtime How many pounds have you lost this month?
