  • Vinaigrette:
  • 2 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • Salad:
  • 1 pound (26/30) shrimp, shelled with tails intact, deveined
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

  1. To prepare vinaigrette, whisk all ingredients except olive oil together in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in oil in a steady stream to emulsify. Set aside.
  2. Prepare grill for direct cooking over high heat. Place shrimp in a large bowl. Add olive oil, salt and red pepper flakes, and turn to coat. Grill shrimp until they are pink on both sides and just cooked through, turning once, about 4 minutes. Transfer shrimp to a plate and let cool.
