BBQ Shrimp and Strawberry Mint Salad with Blue Cheese
- Total Time: 25 minutes
- Yield: 4 1x
Description
This summer salad is loaded with flavor, yet simple to make. The grilled shrimp, mint and sliced strawberries are the perfect complement to one another. You can prepare the farro a day ahead – then just cover and chill. For a gluten-free option, eliminate farro from recipe.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound shrimp, raw
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 2 cups spinach
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1/2 cup pistachios
- 1 cup farro, cooked
- 3 ounces blue cheese
- 1/4 cup mint, finely chopped
- 4 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 pinch Himalayan pink salt
- 1 pinch pepper
Cooking Utensils:
- skewers (to grill shrimp on)
Instructions
- Add shrimp and the BBQ sauce to a medium resealable plastic bag. Seal and marinate in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
- Preheat grill to medium-low heat. Thread shrimp onto skewers, piercing once near the tail and once near the head. Discard BBQ marinade. Cook shrimp for 5 minutes per side, or until opaque. (For a pop in flavor, baste shrimp frequently with additional BBQ sauce.)
- While shrimp is cooking, plate spinach. Evenly divide and top spinach with freshly sliced strawberries, pistachios, farro, blue cheese and mint leaves. Drizzle 1/4 teaspoon of EVOO over each salad. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove shrimp from grill, divide evenly and top each salad. Enjoy!
Notes
Always check for FfL-friendly ingredients.
