Cool Fruited Shrimp Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Bring 5 quarts of water, 3 tablespoons salt, and the lemon to a boil in a large saucepan. Add half the shrimp and reduce the heat to medium. Cook uncovered for only 3 minutes or until the shrimp are barely cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon to a bowl of cold water. Bring the water back to a boil and repeat with the remaining shrimp. Let cool; then peel, and devein the shrimp.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, wine or vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, and dill. Combine with the peeled shrimp. Add the red onion and celery and check the seasonings. Serve or cover and refrigerate for a few hours.

Steps:

• Toss shrimp and onion with 1/2 cup of the dressing; cover. Refrigerate 1 hour to marinate. Drain; discard marinade.
• Divide greens among 4 salad plates. Arrange fruit and shrimp over greens.
• Serve topped with remaining 1/2 cup dressing.

Steps:

• In shallow glass or plastic dish or in resealable food-storage bag, combine marinade ingredients. Add shrimp; stir or shake to coat. Cover dish or seal bag; refrigerate for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, Cut 1/2-inch slice off bottom of pineapple, cut into quarters lengthwise, cutting through green top. Using small sharp knife, remove fruit without piercing through rind, leaving 1/2-inch-thick shell. Turn shells upside down on paper towel-lined pan to drain. Trim cores from pineapple quarters; cut fruit into 3/4-inch cubes. In large bowl toss pineapple, papaya and mango.
• Heat gas or charcoal grill. Remove shrimp from marinade; reserve marinade. Place shrimp in grill basket (grill "wok").
• Place grill basket on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 6 to 8 minutes, brushing several times with marinade and turning once, until shrimp are pink. Discard any remaining marinade.
