Ingredients

Instructions

Bring a medium pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Add shrimp and cook until just opaque, 2-3 minutes. Immediately transfer shrimp to an ice bath to chill, then drain well.
While shrimp chill, combine lemon juice and zest, lime juice and zest, olive oil, and minced garlic in a large bowl. Whisk to combine and season with salt and pepper.
Add cooled shrimp to the citrus dressing, tossing well to coat. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine cherry tomatoes, basil, parsley, and red onion in a separate bowl. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Spoon the marinated shrimp onto a platter and top with the tomato-herb salad. Drizzle with any remaining dressing.
Serve immediately, or chill for up to 30 minutes before eating for a colder salad.
