TROPICAL SHRIMP SALAD

I think Summer may be here.  Weather report says we are in for triple diget temperatures.  Now that is a weather report.  So if it is going to be that hot for the weekend, I figure I better give you a nice cool recipe.  Just fire up the grill and get this on the table in no time.  I make this often in the warm weather, it is just so refreshing.  Even your kids will love this salad.

TROPICAL SHRIMP SALAD

DRESSING:

1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon of orange and lemon zest (1/2 and 1/2)
Salt and Pepper

SALAD:

20 Jumbo shrimp uncooked, cleaned
2 bags of baby Arugula
1 large Avocado or 2 small cut into pieces
2 cups of Cantaloupe cut into small pieces
1 Papaya cut into small pieces
1 Red onion sliced paper thin separate into rings
1/2 Sweet Red Pepper diced very small
Segments from one orange cut into pieces

Whisk the first 5 ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.  Brush the shrimp with olive oil and grill
 on your bar-b-que for about 2 minutes on each side.  Don't overcook.
Put the next 7 ingredients into a large salad bowl.  Toss gently with the dressing and divide to make 4 plates.  Top each salad with 5 shrimp.  Serve with chilled white wine.
