Tangerine, Roasted Beets & Prawn Salad

Servings: 4
Cooking Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 - 2 lbs. wild caught prawns
• 4 - 6 cups baby salad greens, baby kale, or arugula
• 1 bunches of radishes
• 4 Persian cucumbers
• 2 medium-sized beets
• 4 tangerines
• ¼ tsp. sea salt
• ¼ tsp. fresh ground pepper
• ¼ tsp. garlic powder
• dash of cayenne (if you like spicy, optional)
• 1 - 2 Tbsp. avocado oil or other high heat fat for searing shrimp

For The Dressing:

• 2 small shallots, skin removed, roughly chopped
• ¼ cup champagne vinegar (or red wine vinegar)
• 2 tsp. dijon mustard
• ⅔ cup extra virgin olive oil
• Sea salt and pepper to taste

Equipment: High-speed blender or Vitamix

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400° F.
2. Peel the skin off the beets, rinse, and cover each in foil. Roast for about 30 - 45 minutes, until easily pierced with a fork. Remove and let cool, then slice into circles or wedges. Set aside.
3. Defrost the shrimp either in the fridge overnight, or in cold water. If using fresh shrimp, peel and devein them. Pat dry with a paper towel. In a bowl, add the dried shrimp and salt, pepper, garlic powder, (and cayenne if using), then toss to coat the shrimp. Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet, and when hot toss the shrimp in and sauté until pink and opaque about 2-3 minutes per side, (shrimp cook quick!)
4. In a blender, combine all of the dressing ingredients and blend on high until fully combined.
5. Chop the cucumbers, slice the radishes, and peel and divide the tangerine into wedges.
6. Assemble the salads layering the greens topping with cucumbers, radishes, beets, tangerines and the prawns in the center. Drizzle the dressing on the salad and serve.
