Yield Makes 8 first-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

10 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 pounds large uncooked shrimp, peeled, deveined
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
1/4 cup drained capers
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 head butter lettuce, leaves separated
1 lemon, cut into rounds (optional)
Fresh dill sprigs (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle shrimp with salt and pepper; add shrimp to skillet and sauté until just opaque in center, about 3 minutes. Transfer to plate. Whisk next 5 ingredients in large bowl. Whisk in 8 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Mix in shrimp and accumulated juices, capers and green onions. Cool slightly, then cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours and up to 1 day.
  • Arrange butter lettuce leaves on 8 plates. Top with shrimp, dividing equally. Drizzle with more marinade, if desired. Garnish with lemon rounds and fresh dill sprigs, if desired.

Tips:

  • Keep it chilled: Cold shrimp salad is best served cold, so make sure to chill all of your ingredients before assembling the salad. You can even chill your serving plates or bowls to help keep the salad cold longer.
  • Use fresh, high-quality shrimp: The fresher the shrimp, the better your salad will taste. Look for shrimp that are firm and have a slightly briny smell. Avoid shrimp that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Overcooked shrimp are tough and rubbery, so it's important to cook them properly. The best way to cook shrimp is to boil them in a pot of salted water until they are just pink and opaque. Do not overcook the shrimp, or they will become tough.
  • Use a variety of flavors: Cold shrimp salad is a great way to use up leftover shrimp, but it's also a great opportunity to add some new flavors to your dish. Try using different herbs, spices, and vegetables to create a salad that is unique and flavorful.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make cold shrimp salad, so don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients and flavors. The best way to find a recipe that you love is to try out a few different ones and see what you like best.

Conclusion:

Cold shrimp salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover shrimp, and it's also a great way to add some new flavors to your diet.
