serves/makes:
  
ready in:
  2-5 hrs

ingredients

15 dried chilies de arbol (or cayenne chilies)
1 1/2 cup olive oil, for the marinade
1 teaspoon salt
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1 bunch cilantro, sliced
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
35 medium unpeeled shrimp, heads removed
4 cups watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew mix, diced in 1/2" pieces
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup mint leaves, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
3 cups Romaine lettuce (rib removed), cut in wide strips

directions

Grind the chilies in a spice mill to form a powder.

In a bowl, mix chili powder with oil, salt, garlic, cilantro, and lime juice. Add shrimp and marinate for 2 to 3 hours at room temperature or overnight in a refrigerator.

Combine melons, sugar, mint, lime juice and vinegar, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare a hot grill. Remove shrimp from marinade and reserve marinade. Grill shrimp for about 3 minutes and set aside to cool.

Toss the Romaine with 4 tablespoons of the reserved marinade, and form a bed of greens on each plate. Drain the melons slightly.

Peel the shrimp and toss lightly in some of the reserved marinade. Place melons and shrimp on Romaine.

CDKitchen Note: We find it hard to believe that the Coyote Cafe actually reuses marinade. Our suggestion is to reserve the necessary amount BEFORE marinating the shrimp.
