Blackened Shrimp Salad

June 22, 2016

Let me just start off by saying that it took me longer to photograph this salad than actually make it.

Partly because I’m still figuring out the best location to shoot in the new house and partly because I spent the rest of my time cropping and editing several happy dog tails and snouts and beady little eyes from the corners of my photos.

And Sadie and Sam spent most of the night pretending to be nonchalant about the bacon I was frying, while secretly waiting for me to inevitably spill something.

Don’t even get me started on the crepe cake disaster of 2015.

In all fairness, this salad did not take long to throw together! I tossed blackened shrimp (using my old recipe here) with greens, bacon, feta, mandarin oranges, avocado, and whipped together an orange rosemary vinaigrette (Rachel Ray has a great recipe), and had dinner ready in about 30 minutes. It was light and refreshing, yet filling, and perfect for a busy weeknight meal!

      Thank you so much, Sadie! I definitely have pictures – I was snapping as the 18 layers of crepes started to slide and then heard the pattering of pawed feet…
