Pomelo and shrimp salad

Indulge in the vibrant flavors of Pomelo and shrimp salad. A tantalizing blend of freshness and succulence that will leave your taste buds craving for more.

Ingredients:

• 1 pomelo
• 8 oz shrimp (I cooked them in the shell then peeled and deveined them. If it’s easier you can buy them already prepared.)
• 1 large shallot (thinly sliced)
• 3 tbsp neutral cooking oil
• 2 tbsp sesame seeds (toasted)
• 1/4 cup fresh mint (chopped)
• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro (chopped)

Instructions:

1. Place a small saucepan filled two-thirds of the way with water on the stove and bring it to a boil. Prepare a large bowl filled with ice water. Once the water is boiling vigorously, gently add the shrimp and cook for about a minute until they turn pink, opaque, and begin to curl. Remove the shrimp from the water and immediately transfer them to the ice bath to cool down. Once chilled, peel and devein the shrimp (if needed) and cut them into bite-sized pieces.Start by heating the oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Pat dry the sliced shallots with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the shallot slices, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the pan. Stir occasionally and cook until the shallots turn golden brown, which should take approximately 10 minutes. Remove the crispy shallots from the oil and place them on paper towels to cool and become crisp.While the shallots are cooking, prepare the pomelo by removing both ends with a large knife (as the rind is thick), then cut off the sides. Break the pomelo in half with your hands and extract the segments from the membrane over a bowl. Peel off the segments or use a small paring knife if needed. Cut the segments into bite-sized pieces.Combine all the ingredients for the dressing. Toss the dressing, cooked shrimp, half of the crispy shallots, half of the sesame seeds, and half of the mint and cilantro with the pomelo in a bowl. Mix well and transfer the salad to a serving platter. Garnish the top with the remaining crispy shallots, sesame seeds, and herbs.
