Ingredients

  • 1 cup Orange Juice
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
  • 1/8 teaspoon Lime Juice
  • Organic Oranges zested
  • 1 teaspoon Canela (Cinnamon Sticks)
  • 1 teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Dark Sesame Oil
  • 16 jumbo Shrimp peeled and deveined with tails intact
  • 4 each Heirloom Tomatoes (use Yellow Heirloom Tomatoes and Green Zebra Heirloom Tomatoes)
  • 2 tablespoons Cilantro minced

Directions

In a medium saucepan over high heat, combine all ingredients except the shrimp, tomatoes, and cilantro. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Place the shrimp in a glass bowl and pour the boiling marinade over the shrimp. Cover, and allow the shrimp to cool to room temperature. Refrigerate overnight.

The next day, place the tomatoes on a platter and arrange the shrimp on top. Spoon the marinade over them and sprinkle with the minced cilantro.

From the Author Heidi Allison:
Combining orange with cinnamon creates an almost magical flavor pairing. But it’s crucial that you add the cayenne -- the shrimp needs the kick of the cayenne to make the cinnamon work in a savory context here. And the best news is: this innovative, low-fat salad keeps you in your skinny jeans! A nice change from shrimp with cocktail sauce.

Note: Allow 1 day advance preparation.
