Shrimp Lobster And Jicama Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Build a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to high. If using shell-on shrimp, use small scissors to cut shells along the curved backs. Remove veins, keeping shells intact. Place shrimp and lobster in a large bowl; drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil and season with salt. Mix onion and 2 tablespoons lime juice in a small bowl.
• Grill shrimp until just opaque in center, 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a large plate. Grill lobster tails, flesh side down, until slightly charred, 1-2 minutes. Turn flesh side up and grill until just opaque in center, about 5 minutes longer. Add lobster tails to plate with shrimp and let rest for 5-10 minutes. Remove lobster meat from shells; discard shells. Cut lobster into 1" pieces.
• Drain red onion; place in a large bowl. Add 3 tablespoons lime juice, 2 tablespoons oil, jicama, greens, tomatillos, and 1 cup cilantro. Season with salt and more lime juice, if desired. Add seafood; toss to coat. Drizzle Ancho Chile Oil over; garnish with cilantro.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the jicama, minced coriander leaves, mint, salt, sugar and lime juice and toss. Split the shrimp in half and add them to the salad. Cover and refrigerate from 1 to 4 hours. Garnish with the peanuts, shallots and coriander and serve.

Steps:

• Combine jicama, carrots, red onion, both peppers, tomato in a medium bowl. Whisk together the lime juice, vinegar, honey, olive oil and cayenne and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the cilantro and let sit for 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Mix rice vinegar, sugar, jalapeno pepper, and cilantro in a bowl; stir until sugar has dissolved.
• Place jicama and 1/3 of the vinegar dressing in a resealable plastic bag; seal and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Place shrimp in a separate resealable plastic bag with 1/3 of the dressing; seal and refrigerate for 1 hour. Refrigerate remaining vinegar dressing.
• Arrange alternate slices of tomatillo and tomato around the edge of a salad plate.
• Mound marinated jicama in the center of the plate and top with marinated shrimp.
• Pour remaining 1/3 of the dressing over salad.

Steps:

• In a small bowl whisk together all dressing ingredients. Dressing may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
• Cut lobster meat or shrimp into bite-size pieces. Trim peas and diagonally cut into 1/4-inch slices. Cut cabbage, jícama, and carrots into thin julienne strips. Diagonally cut scallion greens into thin slices, reserving white parts for another use. Lobster or shrimp and vegetables may be prepared up to this point 4 hours ahead and chilled separately, covered.
• In a dry small heavy skillet toast sesame seeds over moderate heat, stirring, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes, and transfer to a small bowl to cool.
• Just before serving, in a large bowl toss lobster or shrimp, peas, cabbage, jícama, and carrots with dressing and sprinkle with scallions and sesame seeds.
