An outrageously delicious summer salad!
ingredients
- 4 lbs medium shrimp, cleaned and butterflied
- 2 t. salt
- 2 T. minced garlic
- 3 T. olive oil, plus 1/2 C. for dressing
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 2 tins anchovies
- 1/2 C. fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 C. pine nuts
- Fresh ground sea salt
- 1 C. marinated sun-dried tomatoes, julienne cut
- 1/2 C. capers
- 1 C. firmly packed basil leaves
directions
- 1
Toss the shrimp with the salt, all but 1 t. of the garlic, and 3 T. olive oil. Season with pepper, and refrigerate for at least one hour.

Prepare the dressing: in the bowl of a food processor, place the undrained anchovies and the lemon juice; puree. With the motor running, slowly drip in the 1/2 C. olive oil, and then thin with 2 T. cold water. You should have a smooth, medium thin dressing. If it appears too thick, thin with more water.
- 3
Toast the pine nuts in a 400 degree oven for about 6 minutes, until golden. Season with the sea salt and set aside.
- 4
Grill the shrimp over a hot grill, using a mesh screen, just until opaque. This may be as little as two minutes, do not overcook. Set aside for up to an hour.
- 5
To assemble the salad, place the shrimp in a large bowl and toss with the remaining garlic, pine nuts, and dressing. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, capers and basil, and toss.

For first-course servings, assume 5-6 shrimp per serving. For main-course servings, assume 10-12 shrimp per serving.
