Caribbean Citrus Shrimp Salad Recipes

Steps:

• For the dressing: Cut the top and bottom from an orange so it sits flat. Working from the top down, cut away the peel and pith to expose the flesh. Cut out the orange segments, leaving the membrane behind. Squeeze any juice from the membrane into a large bowl. Repeat with the remaining orange. You should have about 1/4 cup juice. Reserve the segments.

• For the salad: Sprinkle the shrimp with the Old Bay and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the shrimp in two batches until just cooked through, about 3 minutes per batch. Remove to a plate to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
