Spicy Shrimp with mango and avocado salad

Recipe courtesy Alfred Portale, Gotham Bar and Grill, NYC

  • Shrimp Marinade:

  • ¼ cup grapeseed oil

  • 2 tablespoons Spanish-style smoked paprika

  • 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest

  • 1 tablespoon coarsely cracked black pepper

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 12 extra-large shrimp (U-12), peeled and deveined

  • Citrus Vinaigrette:

  • 2 tablespoons lime juice

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

  • ¼ teaspoon finely grated lime zest

  • ¼ cup grape seed oil

  • ¼ cup olive oil

  • Salad:

  • Coarse salt

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • 4 loosely packed cups torn, soft lettuces, such as red oak and lolla rossa

  • ¼ cup finely diced red onion

  • 1 mango, peeled, seeded, and diced

  • 1 Haas avocado, peeled, seeded, and diced

  • Freshly ground black pepper

  • Make the marinade: Whisk together all the ingredients in a large bowl. Reserve 2 teaspoons of the marinade. Add the shrimp to the marinade and refrigerate for at least 3 hours and up to 6.

  • Make the vinaigrette: In a large bowl, whisk together the lime juice, mustard, zest, and reserved marinade. While whisking, drizzle in the oils to form a smooth vinaigrette. Set aside.

  • Make the salad: Remove the shrimp from the marinade; scrape off any excess marinade from the shrimp.

  • Season the shrimp, to taste, with salt. Heat the oil in a large skillet over a medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook, turning once, until just cooked through, about 1½ minutes per side. Remove the skillet from the heat.

  • In a bowl, toss together the onion, mango and avocado. Dress lightly with some of the vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

  • In a another bowl, lightly toss the lettuce with some of the vinaigrette and season with salt and pepper.
