Berry Good Shrimp Salad

What a beautiful salad for a nice Spring meal.  I bought what looked fresh and pretty on the day I made it.  The balsamic vinaigrette recipe follows this one.  It is easy to make and so good with this salad.

I used yellow cherry tomatoes and blackberries this meal.

Ingredients:

• Baby Greens
• 3 lbs. of fresh jumbo shrimp
• 1 T. Tony Chachere Creole Seasoning
• ½ of a Vidalia onion
• 1 pint of cherry tomatoes
• 1 pint of blackberries or raspberries
• 6 boiled eggs
• 8 oz. of crumbled feta cheese
• Balsamic vinaigrette

Directions:

1. Boil eggs, then peel and cut them into circles with an egg slicer
2. Rinse the berries
3. Cut the onion into thinly sliced semi-circles
4. Cut the cherry tomatoes into halves
5. Grill the shrimp, that have been seasoned with Creole Seasoning, for about 2 - 3 minutes on each side on medium-high heat in a grill pan
6. Toss the greens, tomatoes, onions, and berries with about ¾ C. of dressing
7. Divide evenly to six plates
8. Top each with sprinkles of cheese, 1 egg, and 5 – 6 shrimp
9. Serve the vinaigrette on the table for those who like additional dressing
