  • 1 t curry powder (Madras or comparable)

  • 1 lime, zested

  • 1 T lime juice


SALAD DRESSING and NUT BUTTER SAUCE

  • 2 T honey

  • 6 T unseasoned rice vinegar

  • 2 T lime juice

  • 1 t sesame oil

  • 1 T fresh ginger, minced

  • 1 garlic clove, minced

  • 1/4 cup avocado oil, or comparable

  • 2 T creamy almond or peanut butter

  • 3-4 t cool water, as needed

  • tt chili paste, optional


SALAD

  • 1 head romaine, cut into bite-size pieces

  • 4 oz arugula

  • 1 bunch cilantro, roughly chopped

  • 1 English cucumber, medium dice

  • 6 scallions, thinly sliced


Directions

Step 1


In a medium bowl whisk to combine coconut milk, curry powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add shrimp. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Zest lime and combine with lime juice in a small bowl. Set aside until after shrimp are grilled.


Step 2


If using a gas grill, preheat on medium heat for 10 minutes. For a charcoal grill, let coals burn until hot and covered in white ash. You want to achieve a cooking temperature of approximately 400 degrees.


Step 3


For salad dressing, in a medium bowl whisk to combine honey, rice vinegar, lime juice, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. Measure 2 tablespoons of mixture and transfer to small bowl for sauce. Finish salad dressing by whisking 1/4 cup of oil into bowl with remaining rice vinegar mixture until fully emulsified. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and additional lime juice.


Step 4


For sauce, whisk to combine nut butter, chili paste (if using), and 2 tablespoons of reserved rice vinegar mixture from Step 3. Add water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until you have reached a pourable sauce consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper.


Step 5


Remove shrimp from marinade and pat dry. Clean and oil grill grates. Grill shrimp until just cooked through, flipping halfway through cooking, about 4-5 minutes total. Remove shrimp from grill and immediately toss with lime zest and lime juice reserved in Step 1.


Step 6


To assemble, combine salad ingredients in a large bowl. Add salad dressing, one-third at a time, until dressed to your liking. Transfer to serving dishes. Divide shrimp equally, drizzle with nut butter sauce, and finish with Sweet Curry granola.
