Total Calories: 725

Ingredients

20 uncooked large shrimp peeled and deveined
1 1/2 cups mixed salad greens
MARINADE
1/2 cup dry sherry
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons minced garlic
3 slices fresh ginger root crushed to release juices
cracked pepper to taste
DRESSING
1 cup olive oil
1/3 cup peanut butter
1 small onion cut into slivers
3 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 stalk celery finely sliced
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
cracked pepper to taste
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup white wine vinegar

Directions:

1. To prepare the marinade, place all of the marinade ingredients in a small bowl, and stir to combine. Transfer the shrimp to the marinade, cover, and set aside for at least 30 minutes.

2. While the shrimp are marinating, prepare the dressing by placing the first 9 dressing ingredients in a food processor or blender, and processing until smooth. Add the remaining dressing ingredients, and process to mix. Set aside at room temperature.

3. Preheat an outdoor barbecue grill or oven broiler. Remove the shrimp, discarding the marinade, and thread the shrimp onto skewers. Place the shrimp on the heated grill or under the broiler, about 4 to 5 inches from the heat source, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turn pink. Do not overcook.

4. To serve, divide the mixed greens among 4 plates, and drizzle with the dressing. Arrange 5 shrimp on each plate, and pass the extra dressing around the table.
