Ingredients:

Serving

6 anchovy fillets
2 cloves garlic
grated zest of 1/2 lemon
1 cup packed fresh mint leaves
1/2 cup plus 1 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice (from about 1 lemon)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp fresh-ground black pepper
1 lb large shrimp, shelled
2 small heads boston lettuce (about 1/2 lb in all), torn into bite-size pieces (about 2 1/2 quarts)

Directions:

In a blender, combine the anchovies, garlic, and lemon zest. Pulse to chop. Add the mint, oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper and blend until smooth.
In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the shrimp until they just turn pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain the shrimp and transfer them to a medium glass or stainless-steel bowl. Toss the shrimp with half the dressing.
Put the lettuce in a large glass or stainless-steel bowl and toss with the remaining dressing. Put the greens on plates; top with the shrimp.
Variations:: · Grill the shrimp instead of boiling them. Large shrimp will need about three minutes per side.: · Substitute large sea scallops, either grilled or sautéed, for the shrimp.
Wine Recommendation: The refreshing flavor of this salad requires a similarly refreshing wine. For a nice, cool accompaniment, choose a light, herbal sauvignon blanc from Italy's Alto Adige or Collio regions.
