How to Make Grilled Shrimp With Arugula Mushroom Salad

  1. **Prepare the Shrimp Marinade:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of pepperoncini oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. **Marinate the Shrimp:** Add 1 pound of shrimp (peeled and deveined) to the bowl and toss to coat. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes (or up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator).
  3. **Sauté Garlic & Pepperoncini:** While shrimp marinates, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and 2 tablespoons chopped pepperoncini peppers. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. **Prepare the Grill:** Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  5. **Grill the Shrimp:** Grill shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through. Remove from grill and set aside.
  6. **Make the Salad Dressing:** In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  7. **Prepare the Salad:** In a large bowl, combine 5 ounces arugula, 4 ounces sliced mushrooms, and 1/4 cup shaved Parmesan cheese.
  8. **Assemble the Salad:** Add the grilled shrimp to the salad. Drizzle with the dressing and toss gently to combine.
  9. **Serve:** Serve immediately. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese and pepperoncini peppers (optional).
