How to Make Saturday Night Shrimp Salad

  1. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  2. In a bowl, toss shrimp with the juice of half the lemon (about 1 tablespoon), vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Grill shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through.
  4. Remove shrimp from grill and let cool to room temperature.
  5. Blanch carrots and green beans in boiling salted water for 1 minute. Immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking. Drain well and set aside.
  6. Tear or slice field greens into thin strips.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together white wine vinegar, the juice of the remaining lemon half, and minced shallot. Let stand for 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  8. In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and walnut oil with the vinegar mixture.
  9. Add the cooled shrimp, blanched vegetables, chopped egg, and fresh herbs to the large bowl. Gently toss with half of the vinaigrette.
  10. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  11. Add the remaining vinaigrette if needed, tossing gently to combine.
  12. Sprinkle with toasted hazelnuts and serve immediately.
