Cajun Grilled Shrimp with Green Lentil Salad is a delicious and healthy dish that combines the bold flavors of Cajun seasoning with the earthiness of green lentils. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to prepare this recipe:
Ingredients:
For Cajun Grilled Shrimp:
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lemon, juiced and zested
Salt and pepper to taste
Wooden skewers, soaked in water (if using wooden skewers)
For Green Lentil Salad:
1 cup green lentils, rinsed and drained
2 1/2 cups water or vegetable broth
1 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 red onion, finely chopped
1 cucumber, diced
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Marinate the Shrimp:
In a bowl, combine the Cajun seasoning, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat. Allow the shrimp to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15-30 minutes, but no more than 2 hours.
2. Prepare the Green Lentils:
In a medium saucepan, bring the water or vegetable broth to a boil.
Add the rinsed green lentils and reduce the heat to low.
Simmer the lentils for about 20-25 minutes or until they are tender but still hold their shape. Drain any excess liquid.
Let the cooked lentils cool to room temperature.
3. Make the Lentil Salad:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and cooled lentils, diced red bell pepper, chopped red onion, diced cucumber, fresh parsley, and cilantro.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and red wine vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Pour the dressing over the lentil mixture and toss to combine. Adjust seasoning if needed.
4. Grill the Shrimp:
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, make sure they are soaked in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning.
Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers.
Grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes per side or until they turn pink and are slightly charred. Be careful not to overcook, as shrimp can become tough.
5. Serve:
Serve the Cajun grilled shrimp alongside the green lentil salad.
Garnish with additional chopped fresh herbs and lemon wedges if desired.
Enjoy your Cajun Grilled Shrimp with Green Lentil Salad! This dish is not only flavorful but also nutritious and satisfying.
