Steps:
- To make the shrimp salad: Toss the shrimp with 3 teaspoons (1 tablespoon) of oil in a large bowl to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat a heavy large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the shrimp until they are just cooked through or pink, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer the shrimp to a plate and toss with 1 teaspoon lime juice. Cool completely. Cut the shrimp into small cubes.
- To make the parsley sauce: Blend the parsley, sour cream, yogurt, and remaining 2 teaspoons lime juice in a food processor until the parsley is finely chopped. Season the sauce, to taste, with salt and pepper.
- Toss the shrimp with the chives, tarragon, capers, and remaining 2 teaspoons of oil in a large bowl to coat. Season the salad, to taste, with salt and pepper.
- Separate the endive leaves and arrange on a platter. Spoon about 1 generous tablespoon of the shrimp salad atop each leaf. Drizzle the parsley sauce over the salad and serve immediately.
SHRIMP CEVICHE ON ENDIVE
I had my hands in this recipe. This is the one my mom and I made! Very good and very simple to make. Again, squeezing the lemons and limes is the most difficult part. We served these on endive leaves, which was a very pretty presentation, but it would also look lovely served in a martini glass. A jalapeno pepper may be substituted for the serrano pepper if desired. And remember, the lemon and lime juice are what "cook" the shrimp in this recipe, so the smaller the pieces of shrimp the quicker it will "cook". The servings are an estimate, we doubled the recipe in class. It does make quite a bit though.

- Spoon a Tbs or so onto the end of an endive leaf and arrange on a platter as an appetizer, or fill a martini glass as a first course.

Steps:
- Bring water, wine, 1 teaspoon salt, and the bay leaf to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Add half the shrimp, and cook until opaque, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer shrimp to a plate, and let cool. Repeat with remaining shrimp. Cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Whisk together lemon juice, vinegar, and remaining 1 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Pour in oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking until emulsified. Whisk in creme fraiche. Fold in shallot, chives, and shrimp. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (and up to 4 hours). Just before serving, separate endive leaves, and thinly slice crosswise. Fold endive into shrimp mixture. Serve on crackers.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: Use the freshest endives you can find, with tight, crisp leaves. Look for large, firm shrimp that are free of any discoloration or odor.
- Prepare the endives properly: Trim the root ends of the endives and remove any wilted or damaged leaves. Cut the endives in half lengthwise and scoop out the core, leaving the leaves intact.
- Cook the shrimp to perfection: Overcooked shrimp are tough and rubbery, so be careful not to overcook them. Cook the shrimp until they are just opaque and pink, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Make the filling ahead of time: The shrimp filling can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 2 days. This makes it a great option for a quick and easy appetizer or meal.
- Serve the endives immediately: Stuffed endives are best served immediately after they are made. The endives will start to wilt if they sit for too long.
Conclusion:
Stuffed endives with shrimp filling are a delicious and elegant appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a special occasion or a simple weeknight meal. With a little planning, you can easily make this dish at home. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting recipe, give stuffed endives with shrimp filling a try.
