Description

We love the combination of sweet and savory. Here you also get the combo of hot and cold, dry and juicy. In short, this salad is a family favorite. The sherry vinegar is a nice touch, but any vinegar will do just fine.

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Make sure shrimp are drained, and if necessary, pat dry with a paper towel. Add shrimp to skillet and cook 2 minutes. Turn over and add garlic, salt, pepper and spices. Cook an additional 2 minutes until done, then toss a few times to evenly distribute seasoning on shrimp. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. In a small bowl, whisk together vinaigrette ingredients and set aside.

  3. Divide greens evenly between two plates. Divide cantaloupe and shrimp between two plates, placing them on and around greens. Drizzle vinaigrette over top of each salad, and then top with toasted pepitas. Serve immediately.
