grilled shrimp salad / watermelon, corn & cucumber / green goddess dressing

Contents of your meal kit:
shrimp
baby romaine head(s)
dry rub
watermelon
cucumber
corn
arugula
green goddess dressing
feta

Equipment needed: small mixing bowl, salad bowl, grill pan (see note)

Finishing steps:

  1. Slice romaine in half lengthwise, rinse, and lay cut-side down on a towel to dry.
  2. Remove shrimp from package and blot dry with a paper towel. In small mixing bowl, toss shrimp with dry rub and season with salt. Set aside.
  3. Cut watermelon into bite-sized pieces, and slice cucumber thinly crosswise. Set aside
  4. Place grill pan over med-high heat. Rub corn with oil, and season with salt & pepper. Once pan is hot, grill the corn, turning frequently until you have some “grill marks” on all sides. Drizzle shrimp with a little oil, and give a quick toss before adding them to the hot grill pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side or until cooked through. Remove from heat.
  5. Slice baby romaine crosswise into ½ inch pieces. Add romaine and arugula to salad bowl. Toss with as much dressing as you like, reserving some to drizzle over the top. Divide greens amongst plates.
  6. Once the corn is cool enough to handle, use a knife to slice kernels off the cob.
  7. Top salad plates with watermelon, cucumber, corn, feta and shrimp. Drizzle the finished grilled shrimp salad with remaining dressing. Enjoy!

Notes: If you don’t have a grill pan, you can always use an outdoor grill or a nonstick skillet (If you use a skillet you’ll get a nice sear, it just won’t look like “grill marks”).
