Italian-Country Style Grilled Shrimp

By jeknudson

Large shrimp (usually 16 to 20 per pound) are best for this recipe. Smaller ones are harder to grill and get lost in the salad.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons honey
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 1/2 pounds large, raw tail-on shrimp, peeled and deveined
• Grapeseed oil
• 2 cups loosely packed arugula
• 1 1/4 cups chopped heirloom tomatoes
• 1/2 cup (about 15) kalamata olives, halved
• 1/2 cup vertically sliced red onion
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
