Grilled Shrimp and Watermelon Chopped Salad

Ingredients

2 1/2 tbsp DeLallo golden balsamic vinegar

1 tsp water

1 tbsp chopped shallots

1/8th tsp kosher salt

pinch fresh black pepper

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

For the shrimp:

10 oz shelled and deveined (about 24) large shrimp

1 clove garlic crushed

seasoned salt, to taste (I used Montreal Steak Grill Mates)

For the Salad:

8 cups chopped romaine

4 cups diced watermelon

4 ounces soft goat cheese

Directions:

In a small bowl, combine vinegar, water, shallots, salt and pepper. Gradually add olive oil, stirring until incorporated.

For the shrimp:

If cooking outside on the grill, soak skewers at least 30 minutes.

Season shrimp with seasoned salt, then mix in crushed garlic. Thread the shrimp onto the skewers.

Light the grill or indoor grill pan on medium to medium-high flame, when hot spray the grates with oil and grill the shrimp about 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Set aside.

In a large bowl toss the romaine with the dressing. Divide between for plates and top with watermelon, goat cheese and grilled shrimp.

That looks great! I actually only like watermelon when I eat it with Feta. Great combo :)

Sammi Sunshine5/14/14, 2:31 PM

It never occurred to me to put grilled shrimp and watermelon together! But it makes so so much sense because they are both amazing summer food. I think I might make this for my next cookout, but I've never had goat cheese... Willing to try it though!

This looks wonderful! I actually bought a white balsamic vinegar last weekend that would be perfect for this! Thank you so much for this great recipe miss, would love to give this a try :D I hope you have a lovely week :) x

I can't wait to try this recipe! Goat cheese goes so well with watermelon, though I've never tried it with shrimp before. Our website also has a selection of healthy recipes that are great for spring.

Hi Gina,

I came up with 27 points plus for this recipe, which is 7 PP per serving, not 8. Was wondering how you got 8?

Thanks,

Marsha

Kim Grey5/15/14, 8:08 AM

This salad looks so tasty! I love watermelon with feta in salad, so I'm sure I'd like it with goat cheese. I think I might add spring onion, for an extra kick of flavor.

KayKay5/15/14, 8:39 AM

Oh, sorry, but this sounds not good. Probably because I don't like watermelon.

Alessandra5/15/14, 8:48 AM

Yum that looks really good! I love shrimp and i love watermelon :)

Mary Beth5/15/14, 9:16 AM

I love DeLallo products and will definitely be on the lookout for this golden balsamic! I'm eager to try this recipe, too! Looks fantastic...great combination!

Anonymous5/15/14, 9:54 AM

old bay on the shrimp would be awesome too

Tricia5/15/14, 10:34 AM

Hi Gina!

I'm just now venturing into the world of seafood, which will be great this summer on Long Island! Do you usually buy your shrimp at the seafood counter? I don't know a thing about buying shrimp/fish!

Thanks,

Tricia

Beckey5/15/14, 1:08 PM
