2 lbs medium shrimp, cleaned and deveined |
2 garlic cloves |
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes |
2 scallions, white & tender green parts, finely chopped |
1 cup red onion, finely chopped |
2 tablespoons capers, drained |
1 celery, finely chopped |
30 cherry tomatoes, halved |
2 teaspoons fresh oregano, finely chopped |
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt |
ground pepper, to taste |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice |
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar |
2 teaspoons italian parsley, finely chopped |
Directions:
1. Bring 2 quarts water to boil in 3 qt pan. Add 1 tsp salt. Drop shrimp in and cook till just pink. Drain and rinse briefly with cold water.
2. Mix lemon juice, garlic and red pepper flakes in large bowl and add hot shrimp to this mixture. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, make the dressing by whisking together all dressing ingredients, except parsley.
4. Mix shrimp with remaining salad ingredients.
5. Pour dressing over shrimp and sprinkle parsley over salad. Mix well.
6. Chill until cold.
7. This salad can be served over greens.
8. This can also be served over cooked orzo. If serving with orzo, use 1 lb of orzo and triple the dressing ingredients, so that there is enough to coat and flavor the orzo.
