Ingredients:

Serving

1 lemon, halved
6 cups water
1 small onion, sliced
2 tbsp kosher salt
1 scotch bonnet peppers or 1 habanero pepper, halved
1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
12 oz lager beer, such as red stripe (1 bottle)
2 lbs large shrimp, shelled and deveined
1 mango, peeled and finely diced (1 1/2 cups)
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 tbsp fresh lime juice ( please , not the bottled stuff)
1 tsp dijon mustard
1/2 cup canola oil
1 tbsp chopped cilantro
1/2 tsp finely grated lime zest
1/4 tsp minced scotch bonnet peppers
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 hass avocadoes, sliced
lime wedge, for serving

Directions:

PREPARE THE SHRIMP:.
Squeeze the lemon halves into a large saucepan then add them to the pan.
Add the water, onion, salt, Scotch bonnet, ginger and beer and bring to a boil.
Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
Add the shrimp and cook for 3 minutes, just until pink.
Drain the shrimp and spread on a platter.
Refrigerate until chilled.
Halve the shrimp horizontally.
MAKE THE DRESSING:.
In a blender, combine 1/3 cup of the diced mango with the vinegar, lime juice and mustard and puree until smooth.
With the machine on, add the oil in a thin stream and blend until very smooth.
Add the cilantro, lime zest and minced Scotch bonnet and pulse just to combine.
Transfer the dressing to a large bowl.
Add the shrimp, red onion and the remaining mango and season with salt and pepper.
Toss to coat.
Arrange the avocado slices around a large platter.
Mound the shrimp salad in the center and garnish with lime wedges.
Serve right away.
*The cooked shrimp and mango dressing can be refrigerated separately overnight. Toss the shrimp with the mango dressing before serving.
**Bradford Thompson gives his sweet, rich shrimp salad some crucial acidity with lime juice and zest, and a light citrusy white wine will work with it in almost exactly the same way.
***Sauvignon Blanc is the definition of a zippy grape variety—sipping it can sometimes taste like eating fresh citrus fruit. Two top choices are the racy 2007 Brancott and the gooseberry-rich 2006 Brassfield High Serenity Ranch.
