Printer Friendly
Serves 4-6 » Adapted from EpicRoots.com

The simplicity of the ingredients in this recipe really allows the flavors to explode. Serve with some grilled bread to soak up the extra dressing and a crisp Sauvignon Blanc, like South Island.

Ingredients:
    1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
    5 tablespoons Brennan’s Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
    Sea salt and black pepper
    1 tomato, peeled, seeded, and finely diced
    16-24 jumbo shrimp, peeled and de-veined
    4 ounces Epic Roots Mâche, rinsed


Preparation:

Whisk together lemon juice and 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil; season to taste with salt and pepper, and set aside. Marinate tomato in 1 tablespoon olive oil, add salt and pepper to taste. Heat remaining tablespoon olive oil in a large sauté pan over high heat, add shrimp and cook for about 2 1/2 minutes, or until golden on both sides. In a large bowl, toss the Mâche with 2/3 of the vinaigrette and arrange on plates. Divide warm shrimp between each salad and garnish with tomatoes. Drizzle remaining vinaigrette over shrimp.
