- 1 each shallot, chopped
- 2 tbsp. Honey
- 1/3 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
- 2/3 cup Olive oilfresh thyme leaves
- 1 tsp. Fresh Thyme
Tips from the chef: In a pinch for time? These shrimp come out of the deep fryer extra crispy and only need about 3 minutes to fully cook.
- To prepare the dressing add the shallots to a sauté pan and sweat with 1 tbsp. of the olive oil for 2 minutes over medium heat. Chop the peeled apple and add to the pan along with the fresh thyme. Cook for 2 additional minutes and then allow to cool. Add the vinegar to a blender along with the honey and cooled shallot mixture. Process on med-high speed and slowly drizzle in the remaining olive oil. Season to taste and reserve under refrigeration.
- Prepare the Garlic Herb Shrimp according to the package instructions. Cook to an internal temperature of 145°F. (Deep Fry: Preheat fryer to 350°F and fry for 2.5-3.5 minutes. Do not overload fryer. To Bake: Place frozen shrimp on a lightly oiled baking pan. Convection Oven: Preheat oven to 425°F and bake for 10-12 minutes. Flip halfway through cooking. Conventional Oven: Preheat oven to 450 and bake for 12-14 minutes. Flip halfway through cooking. Air Fryer: Set fryer to 400°F and fry for approximately 7 minutes. Pan Sear: Preheat pan over medium heat with oil coating the bottom of the pan. Place frozen shrimp in a single layer and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning over halfway through cooking.)
- To assemble salads: Divide the baby arugula, roasted beets, pecans and remaining sliced apples equally between four entrée plates. Drizzle each salad with about 2 tbsp. of reserved dressing and 1 tbsp. of balsamic glaze. Top each salad with 5 fully cooked shrimp and garnish with about 2 tbsp. of goat cheese crumbles.
