Pickled Onions

Instructions
 

  • Peel a red onion, and slice the onion thinly. Place in a bowl, cover halfway with rice vinegar. Add salt, pepper, 1 Tbsp sugar, and red pepper flakes. It should be sweet, salty and a bit spicy.
  • Let the onions marinate in this mixture as long as you like. The onions will wilt, become bright pink, and their flavors will mellow. I put the mixture into a large Ziploc bag and keep mine in the fridge.
  • For the shrimp, I thawed and cleaned the shrimp and then marinated them in a mixture of paprika, olive oil, salt and pepper. The amounts vary depending on the number of servings. (I only made 2 servings so I used 1 Tbsp of paprika.)
  • Marinate the shrimp for at least an hour.You can either grill the shrimp or heat them up in a frying pan, either way, remember that shrimp need only a couple of minutes to cook.
  • To assemble the salad, plate each plate with greens. Pour a little of the dressing over and give a quick toss. Then add grapefruit segments, grilled shrimp, sliced avocado, pickled onions and goat cheese.
  • Serve immediately.
