Recipe Summary Shrimp Goat Cheese Watermelon Salad Stack

Refreshing take on a traditional caprese salad. If you don't have a ring mold cut into squares or triangles instead. The key is flat watermelon pieces 1/4-inch thick.

Ingredients | Watermelon Feta Cheese Salad

8 large shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

¼ teaspoon chipotle pepper powder (Optional)

1 seedless watermelon, cut crosswise into 2-inch thick slices

1 (8 ounce) goat cheese log, cut into 8 slices

2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

4 sprigs fresh basil

Directions

Preheat oven to 430 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Season shrimp all over with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, smoked paprika, and chipotle pepper powder. Set shrimp into a baking dish.

Bake shrimp in the preheated oven until bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, about 8 minutes.

Use a ring mold (slightly larger in diameter than the diameter of the goat cheese slices) to cut watermelon into circle shapes. Cut circle shapes into twelve 1/4-inch thick slices.

Place a slice of watermelon on a plate. Top with 1 slice cheese, 1 slice watermelon, 1 slice cheese, 1 slice watermelon, 2 shrimp, respectively, to form a salad stack. Repeat with remaining watermelon slices, cheese, and shrimp. Drizzle balsamic vinegar over each stack and garnish with basil.

You can substitute regular paprika for smoked paprika, if desired.
