Grill

This is one of my favorite summer dishes. The shrimp alone is great (I always grill more than I need to, and steal the extras, and this recipe reflects it!), and the salad contains all of my favorite things. The shrimp marinade is a riff on a Craig Claiborne recipe by way of the Barefoot Contessa- and it's the first marinade that convinced me that marinating makes a real difference to the flavor of something. I've varied it a touch to mimic the herbs I use in the salad, and to add a bit of heat- making the marinade more aggressive overall. The ingredients of the salad are all variable- throw in delicious things you have, and in all likelihood, it'll taste great.
