Equipment

  • Large bowl

Ingredients
  

Seafood

  • 1 pound medium Pan-Seared Citrus Shrimp (I use 31/40 shrimp)

Greens

  • 8 cups greens (such as arugula, spinach, lettuce, or spring mix)

Condiments

  • Extra virgin olive oil (I prefer a fruity or lemon-flavored oil)
  • ½ lemon or orange Juice

Produce

  • 1 avocado sliced or diced
  • 1 shallot minced

Nuts

  • 4 ounces sliced almonds toasted

Seasoning

  • Kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Prepare the recipe for the Pan-Seared Citrus Shrimp, or gently warm the leftover shrimp. Or, if you prefer, serve the shrimp chilled.
  • Toss the shrimp with the salad greens in a large bowl.
  • Lightly drizzle with olive oil, and if desired, some of the sauce remaining from the shrimp with a generous squeeze of citrus, and toss lightly to coat.
  • Add the avocado, shallots and sliced almonds and then season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper and serve.

Notes

Use some of the citrus sauce from the shrimp as a double duty dressing or if you don’t have enough sauce for the dressing, simply use a good extra virgin olive oil with an additional squeeze of citrus.
