Vegetable Shrimp Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Place a baking sheet on the middle oven rack and preheat to 475 degrees F. Toss the parsnips, carrots and turnips with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Spread the vegetables on the hot baking sheet and roast until tender and browned around the edges, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine 1 cup arugula, the walnuts, parmesan, garlic, red pepper flakes, lemon zest and a big pinch of salt in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped. With the machine running, slowly add 3 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons water.
• Season the shrimp on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the shrimp (the skillet will be crowded) and cook until lightly browned around the edges, about 2 minutes per side; remove from the heat.
• Transfer the roasted vegetables to a large bowl. Add the remaining 3 cups arugula, the shrimp and arugula pesto. Season with salt and toss. Divide among plates. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
• Add cut vegetables to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Drizzle in olive oil and sprinkle with seasonings to your preference. Bake for 10 minutes.
• Move veggies to the side to make space in the center of the baking sheet and add shrimp in a single layer.
• Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with seasonings and lime juice to your preference. Bake for 5-8 minutes, until shrimp is fully cooked. Be careful not to overcook.
• Mix dressing ingredients together in a small bowl.
• In a large salad bowl, combine mixed greens, roasted shrimp, veggies, and vinaigrette dressing together.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Combine the first nine ingredients in a large bowl. Gently stir in avocado. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450˚F. Spray two 15 x 11-inch baking pans with nonstick cooking spray. Place zucchini, squash, carrots and red peppers in a large bowl. Toss with 2 tablespoons of the dressing. Spoon vegetables evenly into prepared baking pans and season with pepper and salt. Roast at 450°F for 30 minutes, turning once after 15 minutes. While vegetables are roasting, place shrimp in a resealable plastic food-storage bag with 2 tablespoons of the dressing. Shake to coat. Marinate in refrigerator 15 minutes. Grill or broil shrimp for 2 minutes per side. Set aside. Evenly distribute watercress among 6 large salad plates and top with roasted vegetables. Drizzle each with 1 tablespoon of remaining dressing. Scatter cooked shrimp and feta over each salad. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Bring some salted water to a boil and add the asparagus and pea pods. Cook only for a few minutes, until they turn a bright green color and are tender enough to eat, but still have a bit of crunch to them. Drain and set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, salt and pepper the shrimp to taste and sprinkle with a light coating of paprika. Coat the bottom of a medium frying pan with olive oil and heat until hot, then add shrimp. Salt and pepper the other side and sprinkle paprika. Sear shrimp, then turn to sear the other side. Shrimp cook quickly, so this won't take long. Remove from skillet and set aside to cool.
• Mix the sour cream, lime zest, lime juice, rosemary and red pepper to taste in a bowl. Let sit together in the fridge for at least an hour or two, to allow the flavors to come together.
• When you're ready to serve, combine the veggies, shrimp, tomato wedges and sour cream mixture in a bowl and mix to coat everything evenly.
• Place 3 large lettuce leaves on each plate and place the shrimp and veggies in the center.
• Serve with some additional lime wedges if desired and a nice tall glass of unsweetened iced tea.
• It's the perfect meal for a hot summer night! We have lots of those here in South Florida, so I make this often, changing the shrimp to chicken or scallops.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente. Drain and rinse in cold water.
• In a large bowl, combine pasta, green pepper, red pepper, onion, celery, olives and shrimp. In a separate bowl mix together: salad dressing, mustard, sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper; pour over salad. Can be served immediately, but best when chilled a few hours.
