BUTTER LETTUCE/SHRIMP SALAD

What a great weekend!  My other Grand Daughter Kate was here for the weekend and we had a really wonderful time.  It is always so nice to have them here and have some time to do fun things.  Have to return her to her parents today so this will be quick.  I made this for dinner last night for Kate and I, we both loved it, so I am sharing with you today.

BUTTER LETTUCE/SHRIMP SALAD

Serves 2

1 bag of Butter Lettuce
12 Jumbo Shrimp or 8 Prawns
Small pear or cherry Tomatoes
finely sliced Red Onion
1 Avocado
1/2 cup Pear Nectar
3 tablespoons Olive oil
3 tablespoons Champagne vinegar
1/4 cup finely crumbled Blue Cheese
Salt and pepper

Divide the lettuce into two individual salad bowls or plates.  Peel and de-vein the shrimp.  Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with paprika and grill just until done.  In a blender, put the nectar, olive oil, vinegar and just give it a whirl.  Remove and stir in the blue cheese, salt and pepper to taste.  Toss with the lettuce and tomatoes, and onion.  Top with the grilled shrimp and slices of avocado.  Delicious!  Perfect for a hot summer day.

Thanks for stopping in today
Ciao
