Sautéed Strawberry, Sausage and Shrimp Salad




 
Sautéed Strawberry, Sausage and Shrimp Salad

It is not often I can afford this luxury but this week’s maybe the planets aliened or something because  everything I needed to make this salad was on sale this week. I found this recipe when I was searching the internet for an inspiration and found this one by chef  Robert Irvine.
This will seem like a lot of salad but trust me once you start eating this salad you will want more and more!
This is how to make it:

Sautéed Strawberry, Sausage and Shrimp Salad

Ingredients: 

Shrimp:


2 tablespoons oil
1/2 pound shrimp, peeled, deveined
1/4 cup small-diced yellow onion
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
6 ounces precooked Italian sausage, diced small(one sausage)
1/4 cup white wine, such as a Riesling
1 pint strawberries, quartered
1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
Salad:
1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
2 ounces basil leaves, thinly sliced (affordable when bought by     pound)
2 ounces olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt



Directions


For the shrimp: 

In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, allow the oil to heat until warmed.

Then add the shrimp and onions.
Stir the shrimp and onions, allowing to cook for 2 minutes.
 Then add the salt and pepper.
Again, stir and cook until the onions are caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes.
Next, add the sausage, again stir, and cook for 2 minutes.
Add the wine and deglaze, allowing the wine to reduce by half the original volume.
Once the wine reduces, reduce the heat to low and add the strawberries and balsamic
. Finish for 2 additional minutes.
 Once cooked, add the butter and stir into the cooked items, stirring until smooth. Finish with the feta cheese.

For the salad:

Mix the lettuce, basil, olive oil and salt in a bowl.

To serve:

Plate the shrimp and sausage mixture and add the lettuce mixture on top.

 If  you can afford the calories I noticed that French bread was on sale and would be the perfect thing to complete this meal!
Enjoy!
