Ingredients:

• 1/2 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 3 scallions, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• 1/4 cup peeled jicama, diced
• 1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely minced
• 1 ruby red or pink grapefruit
• 1 navel orange
• 1 avocado, diced
• 1 lime
• Rice

Directions:

Place the shrimp in a large bowl with olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss well to coat and set aside for 5-10 minutes.

To make the salsa, combine the scallions, ginger, jicama, and jalapeno in a medium bowl. Zest the grapefruit, orange, and lime. Reserve the zest, and then use a large, sharp knife to slice the peel off the grapefruit and orange (be sure to remove all the white pith). Cut between the membranes to release the fruit segments. Dice the segments, add them to the bowl, and reserve the membrane. Add the avocado to the bowl and squeeze the lime over the salsa. Mix lightly to combine.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook 5 to 6 minutes, turning to ensure that they brown evenly on both sides. Squeeze the membrane of the grapefruit and orange over the shrimp to release the juices and sprinkle with the reserved fruit zest. Toss to coat evenly. Remove to a plate when cooked. Serve shrimp and salsa over rice.

Serves 2.
