Recipe

Ingredients

  1. 2 pounds large shrimp, shelled and deveined
  2. 1/4 cup fresh grapefruit juice
  3. 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  4. 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
  5. 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, preferably Mexican
  6. Salt and freshly ground pepper
  7. 6 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
  8. 2 ripe Hass avocados—halved, peeled and sliced crosswise 1/4 inch thick
  9. 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  10. Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Directions

  1. In a large saucepan of boiling salted water, cook the shrimp until loosely curled and just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Drain well; transfer to a large bowl and let cool slightly. 
  2. In a small bowl, combine the grapefruit and lime juices, vinegar and oregano and season with salt and pepper. 
  3. Add 2 tablespoons of the citrus dressing to the shrimp, toss well and season with salt and pepper. Season the tomatoes and avocado slices with salt and pepper and arrange on a platter with the onion, alternating and overlapping the slices. Spoon the remaining citrus dressing over the salad and top with the shrimp. Drizzle olive oil over all and serve immediately.
wine recommendation A lively, crisp New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc will have enough acidity to stand up to the sharpness of the tomatoes and vinaigrette, and still accent the shrimp. Look for the 2002 Hunter's or the 2003 Villa Maria Private Bin.
