Step by Step guide

Step 1

Place the watermelon in a colander for 5 minutes to drain excess liquid. Cut into 24 thin slices.

Finely chop the remaining pulp and let it drain in the colander. Grate the zest from the lemon to get 2 teaspoons and squeeze out the juice.

Step 3

In a large bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, olive oil, finely chopped shallot, and lemon zest. Add 2 tablespoons of watermelon juice, season with salt and pepper. Add more watermelon juice if necessary.

Step 4

Sprinkle the shrimp with coriander, salt, and pepper.

Step 5

Grease a skillet with vegetable oil, add the shrimp, and sauté over medium heat for 2 minutes until cooked. Remove from heat.

In a bowl, combine watercress and lettuce and mix with the dressing. Add the watermelon and diced avocado. Gently toss and divide among 4 plates. Top each plate with 4 shrimp. Serve immediately.
