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.

  • 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!

  • 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,

  • 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.

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

  • 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,
