• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 25 minutes
• total time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

2 tbsp. soy sauce

2 tbsp. packed brown sugar

1 tbsp. minced fresh ginger

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 lb. large shrimp, peeled and deveined

1/4 c. olive oil

1/4 c. fresh lime juice (from 2 limes)

1/2 jalapeño pepper, seeded and diced

1 lb. mixed salad greens

1 pt. cherry tomatoes

Directions

For the shrimp: Mix the soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger and garlic in a large resealable plastic bag. Add the shrimp to the bag and seal. Let marinate at least 5 minutes and up to 15 minutes.

For the dressing: Whisk the olive oil, lime juice, brown sugar, ginger and jalapeño in a small bowl.

Preheat the broiler. Remove the shrimp from the marinade, transfer to a rimmed baking sheet or broiler pan and broil until opaque, pink and slightly charred, about 4 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a plate and let cool slightly, saving any juices on the baking sheet.

For the salad: In a large bowl, toss the salad greens and tomatoes with about three-quarters of the dressing. Arrange the shrimp on top and drizzle with the remaining dressing and any juices from the baking sheet.
