HONEY LIME SHRIMP SALAD

Steps:

• In a small jar or bowl, add the olive oil, honey, lime zest and juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Shake or whisk together until well combined.
• In a large bowl add the shrimp. Pat them dry with paper towels of any excess water. Take 3 tablespoons of the marinade/vinaigrette and add it to the shrimp. Stir together until the shrimp are coated and then let them marinate for 15-30 minutes, stirring once to re-coat them in the marinade.
• While the shrimp marinates make the salad. Arrange the lettuce onto a serving platter or add it to a large salad bowl. Top the lettuce with the corn, cherry tomatoes, sliced avocado and queso fresco.
• Add a little olive oil (I used a couple teaspoons) to a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, swirl the oil to coat the bottom and then add the shrimp to the hot skillet. Spread them into a single layer and let them cook for 2 minutes before flipping them over. Cook for another 1-2 minutes or until they're opaque and have curled up.
• Remove the skillet from the heat and then add the shrimp to the salad along with any sauce in the bottom of the pan. Top with chopped cilantro and serve with the remaining vinaigrette either drizzled on top or served on the side.

SOUTHWESTERN SHRIMP SALAD WITH SPICY SOUTHWESTERN DRESSING

Steps:

• For the Shrimp:.
• In a deep medium bowl, combine first 9 marinade ingredients, blending well. Add shrimp, coating each well with marinade. Cover and refrigerate 30 to 45 minutes to allow shrimp to absorb marinade flavors.
• While shrimp are marinating, prepare fruit and vegetables; set aside.
• Remove shrimp from marinade, discarding marinade. In a medium heavy skillet, saute shrimp in 1 - 1 1/2 tablespoons hot oil for about 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until shrimp are opaque in color and cut easily with a fork and are done. Do not overcook as shrimp will become tough.
• Arrange salad greens on each of four dinner plates, dividing evenly. Top each with sauteed shrimp, fruit, vegetables and snipped cilantro. Drizzle a small amount of Southwestern-style Vinaigrette Dressing over each salad. Garnish each with shredded cheese of choice, sliced olives, and a sprig of cilantro, if desired.
• For the Dressing:.
• In a deep small bowl, combine the first 7 ingredients, blending well. With a wire whisk, gradually add both olive oil and salad oil, whisking until mixture is smooth and well blended. Add salt and pepper to taste, whisking to blend. Or, combine vinegar and oil in a blender container; cover and blend until mixture is smooth.
• Add remaining ingredients, stirring by hand to mix. Dressing may be stored in the refrigerator, tightly covered, in a glass container for up to 1 week. Variation: Omit vinegar and use 1/3 to 1/2 cup lime juice. May add 1 teaspoon grated lime peel to dressing, if desired.
