Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Prep and cook the scallions

  • Trim the root ends from the scallions.
In a medium frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the scallions and cook, turning once, until charred and beginning to soften, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board to cool, then coarsely chop. Do not clean the pan.
While the scallions cool, start the mandarin-jicama salad.

2

Make the mandarin-jicama salad

  • Using a sharp knife or a peeler, remove the peel from the jicama. Cut the white flesh into ¼-inch-thick slices, then cut the slices into ¼-inch-thick sticks.
  • Using your hands or a sharp knife, remove the peel from the mandarins; cut the fruit in half lengthwise, then crosswise into ¼-inch-thick half-moons. Discard any seeds.
In a medium bowl, toss together the jicama, mandarins, scallions, pumpkin seeds, sumac, and 1 tablespoon oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

3

Make the salsa verde

  • Zest and juice the lime.
  • Finely chop the cilantro.
  • Strip the mint leaves from the stems; finely chop the leaves.
In a small bowl, stir together the lime zest and juice, cilantro, mint, cumin, and 2 tablespoons oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

4

Prep and cook the shrimp

  • Measure out 1 to 2 tablespoons salsa verde for the shrimp; set aside the rest for serving.
  • Rinse the shrimp, then drain on a paper-towel-lined plate and pat dry.
Thread the shrimp onto the skewers and season generously with salt and pepper. Lightly dab the shrimp with the 1 to 2 tablespoons salsa verde.
In the same pan used for the scallions, warm 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the shrimp and cook, turning once, until firm and cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side.

Serve

Transfer the shrimp and mandarin-jicama salad to individual plates. Spoon the remaining salsa verde over the shrimp and serve.
