Preparation
Step 1
Grilled, with a kick:
Cut watermelon into 1-in thick slices. Brush with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and grill over med-high heat 2-3 mins on each side. (Flesh should look slightly caramelized). Serve grilled slices with a squeeze of lime and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Sauteed, with shrimp:
In a large skillet, saute shrimp in olive oil 2-4 mins until no longer pink. Transfer to a bowl. In the same skillet, cook cubes of watermelon with a little water about 3 mins until the liquid reduces slightly. Remove from heat and pour over shrimp. Add chopped cucumber, feta and a handful of oregano or basil. Drizzle with olive oil and a squeeze of lemon.
In a salad, with avocado:
Remove rind and cut watermelon into thin strips. Toss with slices of avocado and thin slices of red onion. Serve over watercress or other small-leaf lettuce. Finish with a drizzle of balsamic vinaigrette.
