Ingredients

  • 24 medium or large size peeled and deveined shrimp
  • 3/4 Cups citrus salad dressing, preferably Newman’s Own Citrus Splash Dressing, divided
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved

Directions

Place shrimp in re-sealable food storage bag.

Add 1/4 cup citrus dressing; seal and turn several times to coat shrimp. Let marinate 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat olive oil in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add cherry tomatoes, cut side down and cook 2 minutes. Turn and continue cooking 1 to 2 minutes, or until softened and charred.

Spray grill pan with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat.

Remove shrimp from marinade and cook in batches, if necessary, 3– 4 minutes or until opaque, turning once.

In large mixing bowl combine cherry tomatoes, zucchini, greens, basil leaves and remaining ½ cup citrus salad dressing. Lightly season with salt and pepper.

Evenly divide salad mixture among each of 4 serving bowls. Top each bowl with 6 shrimp. Sprinkle each bowl with pignoli nuts and garnish, if desired, with basil sprig.
