I found this recipe after trying one that Jillian made which didn’t have shrimp (that one had watermelon and feta and mint), but there was another one with canteloupe, cream and shrimp that was equally delicious. This one has a tangy lime dressing. We had it without arugula but it would be nice with it as well!

(this uses a shortcode which is kind of invisible in the divi view, don’t delete)
- Directions
DRESSING & MARINADE
Combine the oil, honey, lime juice, salt & pepper, onion, hot sauce and half of the mint in a blender or food processor. Set aside 2/3, and add the other 1/3 to the shrimp to marinate for 30 minutes or so.
SALAD MAKING
While the shrimp is marinating, cut the watermelon into cubes
Chop the remaining mint leaves and add to the watermelon with the feta cheese.
GRILLING
grill or sauté the marinated shrimp cool for a few minutes, then add to the salad and pour the remaining dressing over top.
