SHRIMP/PRAWNS AND OLIVES SALAD.



Shrimp/prawns and Olives Salad. image

I came up with this recipe a few days ago when I wanted to make a shrimp salad that did not have pasta or salad greens in it. I added things as I went along. The olives add a unique taste to the salad. The recipe calls for pickle juice even though it does not contain any pickles. If you don't have pickle juice, just add more olive juice. This salad tastes better if it is refrigerated for several hours or overnight. Since both olive and pickle juices have a lot of salt in them, there is no salt listed in the ingredients list. This can be served as a meal or as an appetizer at a party. Cook time is refrigeration time and is the minimal time it should be refrigerated for best flavor.

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups water
1 cup dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
2 teaspoons coarse salt

1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Yield Makes 12 canapés

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 slices homemade-type white bread
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
12 thin round slices of small tomatoes
48 slices of ripe olives
12 cooked small shrimp
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon drained bottled horseradish
12 dill sprigs

Steps:

  • Spread the bread with the butter, cut it into twelve 2-inch squares, and on it arrange decoratively the tomatoes, the olives, and the shrimp.
  • In a small bowl combine well the mayonnaise and the horseradish, dot the shrimp with the mixture, and garnish it with the dill.
  • The canapés may be made 30 minutes in advance and kept covered and chilled. Arrange the canapés on a platter.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your shrimp canapés.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. They should be cooked just until they are opaque and pink. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and chewy.
  • Use a variety of toppings. This will add flavor and visual interest to your canapés. Some popular toppings include egg salad, chopped olives, capers, and fresh herbs.
  • Make the canapés ahead of time. This will save you time on the day of your party. You can make the shrimp canapés up to 2 days in advance and store them in the refrigerator.
  • Serve the canapés chilled. This will help to keep them fresh and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Shrimp canapés are a delicious and versatile appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a little creativity, you can create shrimp canapés that will impress your guests and make your party a success.
