SERVES 6
Directions
Pineapple Vinaigrette
Combine the first 6 vinaigrette ingredients in a small jar with lid. Shake vigorously to emulsify. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Jumbo Shrimp Salad
In a large salad bowl, gently toss the salad ingredients with 5 to 6 tablespoons of the dressing. Divide among salad plates and season with freshly ground black pepper.
There are so many ways to enjoy jumbo shrimp in a salad. My favorite is to combine it with pineapple chunks and a zesty fresh pineapple vinaigrette, adding other delicious ingredients like black olives and avocado. About as healthy as it gets, this recipe makes a fabulous lunch.
