Radicchio Salad with Lemon-Herb Grilled Shrimp

• Serves 4
• ½ cup fresh lemon juice (from about 3 lemons)
• ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for grill
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
• 1½ pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1½ tablespoons raspberry vinegar
• 1½ tablespoons minced fresh tarragon
• 1 tablespoon minced shallot
• 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 head radicchio, torn into bite-size pieces
• 3 cups mixed baby greens
• 2 cups bite-size pieces frisée or curly endive

In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, oil, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper. Place in a resealable plastic bag with the shrimp. Shake gently to coat shrimp with the marinade. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

Meanwhile, make the vinaigrette: Mix together vinegar, tarragon and shallot in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in the oil and season to taste with salt and pepper. (Vinaigrette can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature and re-whisk before using.)

To cook the shrimp, heat a grill or grill pan on high. Remove shrimp from marinade, shake off excess and grill until opaque, 2 to 3 minutes per side.  Combine grilled shrimp with radicchio, baby greens and frisée in a large bowl. Add vinaigrette and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper and divide among four plates.
