Ingredients

• 8 oz Shrimp
• 1 Orange
• 1 Avocado
• 2 cups Arugula
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 Lime

Steps

1. Pat the shrimp completely dry — moisture is the enemy of a good sear.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3. Sear the shrimp 90 seconds per side, until pink with lightly browned edges and curled into a C shape.
4. Segment the orange over a bowl to catch the juice; slice the avocado.
5. Whisk the remaining olive oil, lime juice, and the reserved orange juice with salt.
6. Toss the arugula with the dressing.
7. Top with the warm shrimp, orange segments, and avocado; serve right away.
