Linger over the gentle contrast of temperatures in this warm, meal-worthy, shrimp-topped salad. When cooking these pink seafood curls, there are few better companions than garlic, capers and lemon (particularly when you use the zest for some extra zip). Blistered cherry tomatoes spark up both the sauce and salad. It’s assembled from curly leaf lettuce and crunchy roasted pepitas, and dressed with our honey-Dijon vinaigrette.

Preparation
Roast the tomatoes
Preheat the oven to 450°F. On a lined sheet pan, toss the tomatoes with a drizzle of oil, ½ the spices and S&P. Roast, 10 to 12 min., until beginning to burst.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, zest and juice the lemon. Roughly chop the lettuce and capers. Mince the garlic.
Cook the shrimp
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towel (remove the shells from the tails if desired); season with the remaining spices and S&P. In a large pan (non-stick if possible), heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Add the shrimp* and cook, 1 to 2 min. per side, until opaque and cooked through.
Make the sauce & coat the shrimp
To the pan of shrimp, add the garlic, capers, lemon juice and zest, and 2 tbsp water (double for 4 portions). Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 min., until the sauce has slightly reduced and the shrimp are coated. Add ½ the tomatoes and 1 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions). Cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 min., until the butter has melted.
Make the salad
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the lettuce, pepitas, vinaigrette and remaining tomatoes.
Plate your dish
Divide the salad between your plates. Top with the shrimp and sauce. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking shellfish to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
