Categories     Salad

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup mayonnaise ((top quality))
2 teaspoons lemon juice, (freshly squeezed)
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
Black pepper (to taste)
1 small head (4 cups) cabbage, (finely chopped or shredded*)
1 cup celery, (finely chopped)
1 1/2 tablespoons onion, (finely chopped)
2 cups small shrimp ((fresh or frozen) cooked and deveined**)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, sugar, and pepper; stir until well blended. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Preparing Cabbage:
  • A fast and easy way to remove leaves from cabbage is to cut around the core at the base of the cabbage. Remove the core and grasp each individual cabbage leaf at its base, rather than at the leaf's outer edge. Gently lift the cabbage leaf from the cabbage.
  • To shred the cabbage by hand, quarter and then core the cabbage. Separate the cabbage quarters into stacks so leaves will flatten when pressed lightly. Use a large knife to cut each stack of cabbage diagonally into thin shreds. To chop the cabbage, turn the pile of shredded cabbage widthwise, then cut the cabbage shreds into a fine dice. If you are making a large Coleslaw salad, it is easier if you use a mandoline, instead of a knife, to slice the cabbage.
  • For a crisper cabbage for salads, shred the cabbage and soak it in salted ice water for 15 minutes and then drain.
  • In a large bowl, combine chopped cabbage, celery, onion, and shrimp; add prepared mayonnaise mixture and stir until well blended.
  • Refrigerate until serving time.
  • Makes 4 servings.

SHRIMP COLE SLAW



Shrimp Cole Slaw image

A few years ago my husband and I were in Kemah, and with our meal, we were served regular coleslaw with bits of shrimp in it. The slaw was good but we felt that it needed something to spice it up, so I came up with my own recipe. During the hot summer months we enjoy it as a light meal with toasted garlic bread, on these occasion I use 2 pounds of shrimp. Every time I serve this salad it is a big hit and I never have any left over. In order to save preparation time I have the grocer steam the shrimp in Cajun spice, while I do the rest of my shopping. NOTE: The dressing will taste stronger before you toss it with the salad, the salad dilutes the taste of the dressing.
