Combine the olive oil and cayenne pepper in a nonstick skillet. Heat over high heat until barely smoking. Add the shrimp and saute until the shrimp turn opaque, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Set aside to cool. Slice in half lengthwise. Set aside.
Combine the grated lemon and orange rinds with the orange and lime juices in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Whisk in the olive oil. Add the salt and pepper. Add the avocado slices and grapefruit sections. Toss gently. Take the avocado slices and grapefruit sections out of the bowl, one by one, and arrange them in a large ring on a round platter, slightly overlapping each other. Add the shrimp to the citrus and toss in the remaining vinaigrette. Mound the shrimp in the center of the ring. Garnish with the mint.
This recipe was delicious. I didn't have grapefruit or lime so substituted clementines for the grapefruit and lemon juice for the lime juice. This makes a lot more vinaigrette than you need. Next time I will halve the amount of juice. I also poached the shrimp instead of sautéing in oil to make it a little lighter.
This dish is so good and easy! I could it eat it every week. Perfect combination of flavors!
We made this the centerpiece of a really nice brunch on a warm weekend. I would need a staff to do this in 15 minutes as advertised, but it is nonetheless quick and easy. My only cautionary note is to watch the shrimp closely as you cook. Three minutes over high heat can be more time than you need.
