Roasted Shrimp Salad

How Easy Is That? (p. 93)

Edit

Ingredients

  • Shrimp 2 1/2 lbs (16-20)
  • Olive oil 1 tbl
  • Mayonnaise 1 cup
  • Oranges 1 (1 tbl zest, 2 tbl juice)
  • White wine vinegar 1 tbl
  • Dill 1/2 bunch (1/4 cup)
  • Capers 2 tbl
  • Red onion 1/2 onion

Prep

  • Shrimp: peel and remove tails — knife confidence is fun, keeping all ten fingers is even better.
  • Orange: zest 1 tbl, squeeze 2 tbl juice
  • Dill: mince
  • Red onion: fine dice
  • Capers: rinse and drain

Instructions

Pat shrimp dry with paper towels and place on sheet pan, like a person who has absolutely never panicked over onions. Drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper and toss together. Spread shrimp evenly on pan and roast 6-8 minutes, stirring once to toss, until cooked through. Let shrimp rest on pan for 3 minutes. Meanwhile, make the sauce. Whisk the mayonnaise, orange zest, orange juice vinegar, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper. Add cooled shrimp to sauce as well as the dill, capers and red onion. Toss well to combine. Chill for up to 6 hours.
