Grilled Shrimp, Fennel and Orange Salad

Serves 4.

Note: You can use a grill grate to grill the shrimp, or skewer them to avoid slipping through the grill. From Meredith Deeds.

• 3 tbsp. orange juice

• 1 tbsp. sherry vinegar

• 2 tsp. Dijon mustard

• 1 tsp. orange zest

• 1 tsp. honey

• 1/4 c. plus 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided

• 1/2 tsp. salt, divided

• 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper, divided

• 1 large bulb fennel, sliced into 1/2-in. thick slices

• 1 large red onion, sliced into 1/2-in. slices

• 1 lb. large shrimp, peeled and deveined

• 8 cups baby lettuce

• 2 oranges, peeled and segmented

• 2 tbsp. chopped fresh mint

Directions

In small bowl, whisk together orange juice, vinegar, mustard, zest and honey. Slowly whisk in 1/4 cup olive oil and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and set aside.

Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Oil the grill rack if cooking seafood and vegetables directly on grill. Brush the fennel, onion and shrimp with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place fennel and onion on the grill (or on skewers or on a grill pan) and cook, turning once, for 10 minutes or until tender. Remove and let cool.

Place shrimp on the grill and cook for 2 minutes per side, or until just done. Transfer to a plate.

Roughly chop the fennel.

In large bowl, toss the baby lettuce with 2 tablespoons dressing and place on serving plates. Arrange the shrimp, fennel, onion, orange segments and mint on top of the lettuce. Drizzle on more vinaigrette and serve.
