Shrimp Stack Salad Recipes

Steps:

• 1. FOR THE SHRIMP SALAD: Whisk the olive oil, champagne vinegar, lemon zest, mustard, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Measure 3 tablespoons of the vinaigrette into a medium bowl and mix with the mayonnaise. Add the shrimp to the mayonnaise mixture and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed. Set the remaining vinaigrette aside. 2. FOR THE GAZPACHO SALSA: Toss the yellow bell pepper, mango, tomato, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, salt, pepper, olive oil, and sherry vinegar in a medium bowl and set aside. 3. FOR THE AVOCADO SALSA: Toss the avocado, salt, pepper, and lime juice in a medium bowl and set aside. 4. TO ASSEMBLE: Divide the shrimp, and both salsas into 6 portions. Place a 3 inch wide round biscuit cutter in the center of an individual plate. Use a slotted spoon to press a portion of the Avocado Salsa into the bottom of the cutter using the back of a soup spoon. Lift the cutter off the plate slightly to reveal some but not all of the avocado. Holding the cutter aloft, press a portion of the Shrimp Salad evenly into the cutter on top of the avocado. Lift the cutter farther to reveal some but not all of the shrimp salad. Holding the cutter aloft, use a slotted spoon to press a portion of the Gazpacho Salsa evenly into the cutter on top of the shrimp. Gently lift the cutter up and away from the plate to reveal the shrimp tower. 5. Dress the salad greens with the remaining champagne vinaigrette. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 430 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Season shrimp all over with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, smoked paprika, and chipotle pepper powder. Set shrimp into a baking dish.
• Bake shrimp in the preheated oven until bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, about 8 minutes.
• Use a ring mold (slightly larger in diameter than the diameter of the goat cheese slices) to cut watermelon into circle shapes. Cut circle shapes into twelve 1/4-inch thick slices.
• Place a slice of watermelon on a plate. Top with 1 slice cheese, 1 slice watermelon, 1 slice cheese, 1 slice watermelon, 2 shrimp, respectively, to form a salad stack. Repeat with remaining watermelon slices, cheese, and shrimp. Drizzle balsamic vinegar over each stack and garnish with basil.
