Description

A fresh and flavorful main course featuring extra-large shrimp marinated in herbs and oil. The shrimp are grilled or broiled and served atop a medley of sautéed artichokes, fennel, and bell peppers. Finished with a sweet and tangy citrus vinaigrette made with orange, grapefruit, and lime juices.

Directions

For the marinade, combine the vegetable oil, fresh basil, dried basil, fresh thyme, and dried thyme in a mixing bowl. Add the shrimp and marinate for about 3 hours in the refrigerator.
For the vegetable sauté, in a sauté pan over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the vegetables and garlic; sauté for 4 minutes, stirring constantly. Season with salt and pepper. Add the balsamic vinegar and continue cooking for 1 minute more.
For the citrus vinaigrette, combine the orange juice, grapefruit juice, lime juice, honey, Dijon-style mustard, orange zest, and lime zest in a mixing bowl. Whisk to dissolve the honey.
Remove the shrimp from the marinade and grill or broil for 2 minutes on each side.
Divide the sautéed vegetables among 6 salad plates, place 3 shrimp on top of each, and pour on the citrus vinaigrette.
