Ingredients: 6 anchovy fillets; 2 cloves garlic; Grated zest of 1/2 lemon; 1 cup packed fresh mint leaves; 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil; 1/4 cup lemon juice (from about 1 lemon); 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper; 1 pound large shrimp, shelled; 2 small heads Boston lettuce (about 1/2 pound in all), torn into bite-size pieces (about 2 1/2 quarts)

Servings: persons

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

1
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.
2
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.
3
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.
4
Variations:: Grill the shrimp instead of boiling them. Large shrimp will need about three minutes per side.: Substitute large sea scallops, either grilled or sauteed, for the shrimp.
5
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.
