We eat a lot of shrimp. Mostly because it cooks so quickly and is such a pretty color. It makes bright meals very easy and after a cold winter day who doesn't like something bright? Shrimp in salad is one of my favorite summer meals, but this shrimp is a little bit heavier so it works for a bright winter meal too. I topped this salad off with a homemade orange pomegranate dressing - basically just orange and pomegranate juice whisked with a little oil, salt, and pepper.
Spinach Salad with Lemon Pepper Shrimp1 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp lemon pepper
Baby spinach
sliced red onion
1 can mandarin oranges.
1) Preheat oven to 450. Toss shrimp with olive oil and lemon pepper and place on a baking sheet.
2) Cook for 9 minutes. While cooking, combine spinach, onion, and oranges.
3) Place hot shrimp on top of salad, drizzle with dressing.

ReplyDeleteP.S. I made the crustless quiche for the fam last week. It's a winner. ;)
Shrimp is something I need to try a bit more, the only time I have it is if someone else had ordered some in a restaurant!
ReplyDeletethe shrimp sound yummy! will definitely have to give that a whirl :)
ReplyDeleteYummmmmmmyyyyy!!! That shrimp looks delicious! Seriously, I'm craving it now :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I should admit this... but I have never eaten shrimp. I love fish but have this thing about shrimp... like it seems odd to even try. But this is my childhood, unable to control my chaotic childhood, so I controlled what I ate.
ReplyDeleteMaybe someday I'll try it.
