Ingredients

  • 1 ½ - 2 pound fresh or frozen large shrimp in shells

  • 1 - 2 oranges

  • 2 cup sugar snap pea pods, cut diagonally into 1-inch pieces

  • 1 cup thin bite-size strips red sweet pepper

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • ¼ - ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper

  • 3 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 3 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard

  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

  • 8 cup coarsely chopped hearts of romaine lettuce

Directions

  1. Thaw shrimp, if frozen. Peel and devein shrimp, leaving tails intact if desired. Rinse shrimp; pat dry. Preheat oven to 450°F, placing a 15x10-inch baking pan in oven while it preheats.

  2. Remove 2 tsp. zest and squeeze 6 to 7 Tbsp. juice from oranges. In a medium bowl combine shrimp, orange zest, pea pods, sweet pepper, garlic, and crushed red pepper. In a small bowl combine 3 Tbsp. of the orange juice, the lemon juice, oil, mustard, and salt. Drizzle half of the juice mixture over shrimp mixture; toss to coat.

  3. Carefully add shrimp mixture to hot pan. Roast 5 minutes or just until shrimp are opaque, stirring once. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl toss together lettuce and remaining juice mixture.

  4. Push shrimp mixture to one side of pan. Add lettuce to other side of pan. Roast 1 to 2 minutes more or just until lettuce begins to wilt. Drizzle with remaining 3 to 4 Tbsp. orange juice.

  5. Divide lettuce among plates and top with shrimp mixture. Serve with pan juices.
