Tangy Shrimp Salad With Summer Vegetables
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- Kosher salt and pepper
- 1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes, cut in half
- 1 cucumber, sliced into thin half-moons
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup parsley sprigs
- 4 scallions, sliced
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped
- 1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add the shrimp and 1 tablespoon salt and cook until the shrimp are bright pink and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and run under cold water to cool.
- In a large bowl, toss the tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, parsley, scallions, jalapeno, garlic, oil, lemon juice, cooked shrimp, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Let marinate for 5 minutes before serving.
- Shortcut: To get this dish done even faster, use precooked shrimp from the fish counter or the freezer case instead of boiling them yourself. (To thaw frozen shrimp fast, place them in a colander and run under cool water.)
