    How to Make Spicy Shrimp and Chickpea Salad

    1. Prepare the Dressing

    In a large serving bowl, whisk together the zest of one lemon, its juice, the zest of one lime, a teaspoon of Dijon mustard, and three tablespoons of olive oil. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.

    2. Combine Salad Ingredients

    Add two cans of drained and rinsed chickpeas, half of a diced red onion, and a sliced Fresno chile or jalapeño to the bowl with the dressing. Add most of the parsley, reserving some for garnish, and stir everything together.

    3. Cook the Shrimp

    Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the grated or minced garlic and half a teaspoon of red-pepper flakes, sautéing until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 4 to 6 minutes until pink and opaque. Squeeze over the remaining lime juice halfway through.

    4. Assemble and Garnish

    Spoon the cooked shrimp on top of the chickpea salad. Pour any cooking juices left in the skillet over the top and garnish with the remaining parsley.
