At the weekend he was in the capital and managed to try the summer menu in one of the establishments in Kiev. I liked the dish with ice cream, watermelon and scallop, the unusual combination worked perfectly on the overall impression. So, inspired by the game of watermelon and seafood, I decided to make my own variation – a light fresh salad. It simultaneously refreshes mint, invigorates garlic, gives the necessary moisture of watermelon juice and satiety, thanks to shrimp. A simple but effective dressing puts the finishing touch to this masterpiece. Try it all, be sure! And finally, I recommend cooking this salad at home. You will be incredibly happy with the result. And now to the point …

Interesting: Watermelon is both a fruit and a vegetable. On the one hand, it is sweet and grows from seed, but on the other it belongs to the same family as cucumbers and pumpkins.
In a mortar, combine coriander (1 tsp, you can take the seeds), salt and pepper, garlic (2 cloves).
Mash everything into a paste, add oyster sauce (60 ml), lemon juice (60 ml) and sesame oil (1 tsp).
Fry nuts (50 g, walnuts, cashews, cedar – to your taste) in a dry pan until a pleasant aroma.
Peel the shrimp (450 g), leaving the tails. Fry in olive oil in a hot pan for 1 minute on each side.
Peel a watermelon (500 g) and cut it into large cubes.
Peel a tangerine (1 piece, you can use a small grapefruit or an orange), divide it into slices and remove the films from them.
Combine fruit and dressing in a bowl, sprinkle with nuts and mix. Serve with mint leaves.
