Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
For The Roasted Shrimp:
- 2 lbs shrimp 16-20 or 21-25 peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
For The Dressing:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon orange zest from 2 oranges
- 2 tablespoons orange juice freshly squeezed
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- ¼ cup chopped fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons capers drained
- 2 tablespoons red onion small diced
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Prepare Shrimp: Using a sheet of paper towel, pat dry the shrimp on both sides. Transfer onto a sheet pan. Spread the shrimp on a single layer, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss together to ensure that the shrimp is evenly coated with oil and seasoning.
- Roast Shrimp: Roast for 6-8 minutes, flipping them halfway through roasting. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and set it aside.
- Make the salad dressing: Meanwhile, make the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, orange zest, orange juice, and vinegar in a mixing bowl. Add the dill, capers, and red onion and mix to combine.
- Toss, rest and serve: Pour the dressing over the shrimp and toss to combine. Cover with stretch film and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Yields: This recipe makes 4-5 cups of salad, good for approximately 6 (appetizer) servings. The approximate nutritional values below are per serving.
- Make Ahead: Make it up to 1 day in advance. Allow to cool to room temperature, then cover and store in the fridge. Remove from the fridge 30 minutes prior to serving.
- Storage: Leftover shrimp salad will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. The sauce will sink to the bottom over time, so give it a good stir before serving.
