About

This classic Sicilian salad takes advantage of the citrus that flourishes on many parts of the island. Blood oranges bring sweetness and a dramatic color to the plate, and their zest adds a welcome tartness to the mix of shrimp and fennel.

Method

Soak fennel in cold water for 10 minutes; drain and set aside. Heat 2 tbsp. oil in a 12″ skillet. Add shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook, turning once, until evenly pink and cooked through, 3 minutes. Cool slightly, then toss with fennel, remaining oil, the blood orange zest, segments, and juice, the parsley, salt, and pepper. Garnish with reserved fennel fronds.
