Categories     Salad

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 32 ounce bag frozen peas, (thawed (do not thaw in the microwave))
1 pound cooked baby cocktail shrimp (if these are not available, you can dice larger shrimp like I did)
1 can water chestnuts (chopped)
1 bunch green onions, (chopped (white and green parts))
3/4 can salted cashews ((I chopped them in this but my mother in law leaves them whole- they taste delicious either way!)
Kosher salt, (to taste)
Ground black pepper, (to taste)
1/2 - 3/4 cup mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Defrost the peas the night before in the refrigerator or in a colander under running cold water for a few minutes. Do not microwave the peas to defrost them, this will ruin the texture
  • Drain peas and then pat dry to remove excess water. Place into mixing bowl.
  • Add shrimp, water chestnuts, and green onion to the bowl.
  • Stir in mayonnaise. Start with a scoop or two and mix it. Add additional scoops as needed until you get the consistency you want. You want it the be lightly dressed without swimming in the mayonnaise (unless that's how you like it!).
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Refrigerate until you're ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure to gather and measure all of your ingredients and equipment. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't forget anything.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your salad will taste. If possible, use organic or locally grown produce.
  • Cook the Shrimp Perfectly: Overcooked shrimp are tough and rubbery. To avoid this, cook them just until they are opaque and pink. You can do this by boiling, pan-frying, or grilling them.
  • Make the Dressing Ahead of Time: The dressing can be made up to 3 days in advance. This will give the flavors time to meld and develop.
  • Chill the Salad Before Serving: This will help the flavors to come together and make the salad more refreshing.

Conclusion:

This cashew shrimp pea salad is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you are looking for a new salad recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
