    ⭐ Why you'll love this recipe

    • Easy to make.
    • Only 4 ingredients.
    • Healthy cold appetizer.
    • This recipe happens to be paleo, whole30 and AIP compliant.

    📖 Ingredient notes

    • Pink grapefruit. Grapefruit is a tropical citrus fruit. It has a sweet and sour taste. This fruit is rich in nutrients, antioxidants and fiber.
    • Shrimp. Make sure they’re cooked, peeled and deveined. Shrimps often come already cooked at the grocery store so they should be easy to find. Shrimps are one of the most consumed types of shellfish. They are quite nutritious and provide high amounts of certain nutrients, such as iodine.
    • Balsamic vinegar. This vinegar has a sweet taste that perfectly complements the pink grapefruit and shrimps.
    • Olive oil. Make sure to use extra virgin olive oil.

    For the ingredient quantities for this cold shrimp appetizer recipe, please see the recipe card below.

    🥣 Step by step instructions

    Using a sharp knife, cut the skin and all of the bitter white pith off the grapefruit. Working over a bowl, cut in between the membranes to release the sections. Add those sections to a salad bowl. (You can squeeze the juice from the membranes and transfer all excess juice into a separate glass to drink it later).

    Add shrimps, olive oil and balsamic vinegar to the salad bowl. Mix the salad to make sure it is well coated with dressing. And voilà! Your shrimp salad is ready! Serve immediately. Bon appétit!

    👩🏻‍🍳 Top tips

    • The secret to instantly transform this very simple and super easy cold shrimp appetizer into a "fancy appetizer to impress" is to serve it in beautiful glasses.Here I'm using, coupe glasses but you can use stemless wine glasses or any other kind of glasses. Just pick the most beautiful ones you have on hand.Same with the cutlery: select your best looking forks to serve it with. I recommend using small cutlery.
    • Do not hesitate to add a few leaves of parsley, dill or cilantro (coriander) to add a beautiful finish to your glasses.
