Farro Avocado Shrimp And Orange Salad Recipes

FARRO-CITRUS SALAD WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add the farro, stir and reduce the heat to low; simmer until tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain.
• Meanwhile, grate the zest of 1/2 blood orange into a medium bowl. Add the shrimp, fennel seeds, a pinch of salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Toss well, then set aside 10 minutes. Cut the peel off both oranges using a paring knife. Working over a large bowl, cut between the membranes to remove the orange segments so they fall into the bowl. Squeeze the remaining membranes to release any juices. Whisk in 2 tablespoons olive oil and the vinegar; set aside.
• Halve the fennel bulb lengthwise and thinly slice crosswise, discarding the core. Add to the oranges along with the watercress, parsley and olives; do not toss the salad yet.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook, turning occasionally, until just cooked through, about 3 minutes.
• Add the farro to the salad, toss and season with salt and pepper. Divide among plates and top with the shrimp.

Steps:

Drain to remove excess water, and then transfer to a bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Set aside.
• Preheat the broiler.
• Toss the shrimp with 2 more tablespoons olive oil, some salt, pepper and the lime juice. Spread in an even layer on a baking sheet and broil for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Let cool slightly.
• Make the salad dressing by combining the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, the mint, lemon juice and some salt and pepper in a small jar. Cover and shake to combine.
• Toss together the farro, beans and watercress in a large bowl with half of the dressing. Season with salt and pepper. To plate, transfer the salad to a large platter and top with the shrimp. Serve with the remaining dressing on the side.

FARRO, AVOCADO, SHRIMP AND ORANGE SALAD

Steps:

• To cook shrimp, fill a bowl with ice water. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp; cover the pot and turn off the heat. Let sit for 2 to 4 minutes, until the shrimp turn pink and start to curl. Cut one open to make sure they are cooked through. Immediately drain and transfer to the ice water. Drain when cooled. You can add more flavor to the shrimp by using fresh shrimp and boil them with the heads on. This will provide more flavor to the shrimp and then cool, devein and cut up as described above. The fat contained in the head of the shrimp will add greatly to the flavor of the shrimp. To section an orange, use a large chef's knife to slice off both ends of the fruit. Stand the fruit on end and slice downward along the curve of the fruit, cutting away both the peel and pith while leaving as much of the flesh as possible. Use a paring knife to cut between the sections to detach each section of fruit from its surrounding membrane. Discard the membrane. Combine the cooked farro, shrimp, orange pieces and juice, cucumber, avocado, dill, vinegar, oil, sugar and salt and pepper to taste in a large bowl. Taste, and adjust the seasoning as needed. Let it sit for 20 minutes before serving. Makes 4 main-course or 8 side-dish servings.
