Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) + 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 small shallot, thinly sliced

Preheat the oven to 400Β°F(200Β°C). Spread the pumpkin seeds in a pie plate and bake for 3-5 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Transfer to a plate and let cool.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of the olive oil with freshly squeezed lime juice, shallot, and cilantro. Using a sharp knife, peel the grapefruit, removing all of the bitter white pith.

Step 4

Add the shrimp to the vinaigrette and gently spread over the lettuce. add the shrimp to the vinaigrette and toss to coat. Arrange the shrimp over salad and drizzle the remaining citrus dressing on top. Scatter the toasted pumpkin seeds on top and serve.
