Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 pound medium shrimp with shells
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
4 whole allspice
1 bay leaf
2 sprigs parsley
3/4 pound fresh crab meat, preferably lump
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
4 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped scallions
1 jalapeno pepper, cored, seeded and finely chopped
16 large, unblemished spinach leaves, trimmed of the stems, rinsed well and patted dry
16 radicchio leaves, washed and dried
1 head romaine or escarole cut into bite-size pieces
3 sprigs chervil or coriander for garnishing

Steps:

  • Place shrimp in a saucepan and add salt, pepper, allspice, bay leaf and parsley. Add cold water to barely cover; then, bring to a boil. Remove from heat, and let shrimp stand until they reach room temperature. This step can be done ahead of time.
  • Pick over crab meat to remove bits of cartilage and shells.
  • Combine Dijon mustard, lime juice, vinegar, honey, olive oil, scallions, jalapeno pepper, and salt and pepper to taste. Blend well with a wire whisk. Add shrimp and crab meat and toss lightly to blend without breaking crab meat lumps.
  • Arrange 4 spinach leaves on 4 individual large serving plates. Arrange the radicchio alternately between the spinach leaves.
  • Place equal portions of romaine leaves in the center of each serving.
  • Spoon equal portions of crab meat and shrimp salad over center of each plate. Garnish with the chervil or coriander sprigs. Serve chilled.
