Serves four
Ingredients
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 sprigs rosemary, stemmed
• ½ cup and 1 tbsp olive oil
• 16 large head-on shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 1 shallot, minced
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 4 cups mixed cherry tomatoes, quartered
• 3 cups arugula
• 1 lemon
Directions:
Mince garlic and rosemary together and place in a large bowl. Pour in 1/3 cup olive oil and combine. Add shrimp and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
After the shrimp has marinated, combine red wine vinegar, shallot, 4 tablespoons olive oil, salt and pepper in the bottom of a large bowl and whisk to combine.
Add the tomatoes and arugula and toss gently to coat. Put the mixture aside. Next, heat the grill. Once hot, remove the shrimp from the marinade and skewer shrimp (two per skewer) and place on grill. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 1½ minutes. After 90 seconds, flip to the other side, season with salt and pepper and cook 90 seconds more. Once cooked, remove from heat and place 4 shrimp on each of the four plates.
To serve, divide the tomato salad onto four plates and top each with two shrimp skewers. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of remaining olive oil and serve immediately.
