Summer Grilled Shrimp Salad Recipes

Steps:

• For the grilled shrimp marinade: Toss the shrimp in a large bowl with the olive oil, garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Let marinate in the fridge for an hour.
• Preheat half of a grill to medium-high heat, or around 350 degrees F.
• For the squash: Toss the squash with the olive oil and some salt and pepper and place in a disposable aluminum foil pan. Place the pan over the indirect side of the grill and cook, covered, stirring once, until the squash is just tender, but not browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Grill the shrimp over direct heat until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side, flipping once.
• For the lemon vinaigrette: Whisk together the lemon juice, honey, shallots and Dijon in a large bowl. While whisking continuously, slowly drizzle in the grapeseed oil, then the olive oil, until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper.
• To assemble the salad: Toss together the squash, corn, snap peas, sunflower seeds, Aleppo, half of the vinaigrette and season with salt and pepper. Taste and check for seasoning, adding more vinaigrette as desired. The salad can be kept cold until ready to serve. Before serving, gently fold in the basil and cilantro. Then plate with the shrimp arranged on top.

Steps:

• Combine olive oil, maple seasoning, and lemon juice in a glass bowl. Add shrimp and toss to coat. Refrigerate until ready to grill.
• Whisk olive oil, honey, lime juice, cilantro, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Set vinaigrette aside.
• Preheat an indoor or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Thread the shrimp onto skewers. Grill until shrimp turn pink and opaque, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from skewers and set aside.
• Place mixed greens in the bottom of a large salad bowl. Lay cucumber, corn, tomato, red onion, and avocado in sections on top of the greens. Pile the grilled shrimp in the center of the salad. Drizzle with the vinaigrette and toss to coat. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• For the grilled shrimp: Prepare a grill for medium heat. In a bowl, combine the lemon juice, garlic powder and a pinch each of sea salt and pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat well. Thread the shrimp onto metal skewers.
• Lay the shrimp on the hot grill and cook until cooked through (the flesh will turn opaque) and grill marks form, about 2 minutes per side. Remove and set aside. When cool enough to handle, pull the shrimp off the skewers.
• For the vinaigrette: Add the lemon juice, garlic and a pinch each of kosher salt and pepper to a large bowl. Whisk together, then slowly stream in the olive oil while whisking. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
• For the salad: Add the lettuce, avocado and tomato to the bowl with the dressing. Toss to coat well, then transfer to a serving bowl or platter, leaving any leftover vinaigrette in the bowl. Top the salad with the olives, goat cheese and shrimp. Drizzle the leftover vinaigrette in the bowl over the shrimp. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Whisk oil, seafood seasoning, lemon juice, salt, and pepper together in a glass or ceramic bowl. Add shrimp and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
• While the shrimp is marinating, toss together salad greens, tomatoes, cucumber slices, and walnuts in a bowl; place in the refrigerator. Whisk olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, sugar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl for the dressing; set aside.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove shrimp from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Cook the shrimp on the preheated grill until bright pink on the outside and meat is opaque, about 2 minutes per side.
• Put shrimp on top of the salad greens mixture. Pour dressing over top.
