Mango Sunshine Salad
- 1 very ripe Mango, peeled and cubed
- 1 ripe Avocado, peeled and cubed
- 1 medium Tomato, Diced
- 1/2 small purple onion, sliced thin
- 1lb fresh shrimp- peeled and deveined (raw)
- 1/2 lemon
- Bay leaves
- 1 tbs Salt
- 1/2 tsp peppercorns
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/4 extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 key lime juice (buy it in a bottle in specialty store or liquor store such as BevMo- the brand I used is called Nellie and Joes Key West Lime Juice)
- 1 tsp honey
- Salt and Pepper
- Boston butter lettuce
- In a saucepan combine 2quarts water, salt, 1/2 lemon- squeeze and toss in the whole thing, bay leaves, peppercorns, red pepper flakes, 2 smashed garlic cloves. Bring to a boil. Add Shrimp, and cook for approx. 2 minutes. Do not overcook! Remove shrimp from water, and place in a bowl of ice water to stop cooking, and cool shrimp..
- While shrimp cools- combine in a separate bowl:
- Mango cubes, Avocado Cubes, Diced Tomato, and onion.
- In a small bowl add olive oil, honey, salt, pepper, and drizzle in lime juice while whisking... it will thicken up and emulsify.
- Add drained shrimp to the fruit and vegetables, add dressing and toss... let salad marinate in the fridge for about 30 minutes. Serve on Boston lettuce lined plates.
