Ingredients

For the Salad

  • 1 pound of large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 1 pint of cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 8 ounces of mini mozzarella balls
  • 1 clove of garlic crushed
  • 10 basil leaves cut into ribbons
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • teaspoon salt and pepper to taste

For the shrimp

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 4 cloves of garlic (pressed)
  • teaspoon salt and pepper to taste

For the honey balsamic reduction

  • 1/2 cup of balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, season the shrimp with garlic cloves, salt, pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice. Let sit for about 5 minutes.
  • Preheat a grill pan sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat.
    When the pan is hot, place the shrimp on and cook for about 90 seconds to 2 minutes per side or until each shrimp is opaque and pink. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • Half the cherry tomatoes and toss them with the mini mozzarella balls, basil, crushed garlic and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste and add the cooled shrimp. Set aside.
  • In a small sauce pan set over medium-low heat, combine the balsamic vinegar and the honey. Stir consistently for about 5 minutes or until the vinegar mixture reduces by about a third and coats the back of a spoon. Do not bring to a boil or the mix will caramelize.
  • Drizzle the balsamic reduction over the caprese salad. Serve with bread or rolls.
