SHRIMP SALAD-STUFFED ENDIVE
This is nice as a first course for a summer dinner party or as an hors d'oeuvre for a cocktail party. The recipe was originally published in Southern Living magazine. This recipe makes 24 leaves; I serve 3 at a time for a first course, or one leaf per serving as an hors d'oeuvre. "Cooking Time" is the time it takes to stuff the leaves.

- Trim top 1 1/4 inches from each endive and separate leaves, discarding small inner core. With a sharp knife cut away soft yellow edges of each leaf (save trimmings for another use), leaving only firm white centers, and cut centers lengthwise into 1/4-inch-wide strips.

BELGIAN ENDIVE WITH GOLD COAST SHRIMP SALAD
Steps:
- To poach the shrimp, combine the water, carrot, celery, lemon, onion, bay leaves, and 1 tablespoon of the salt in a large pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, then decrease the heat to low. Simmer gently for about 10 minutes to make a flavorful court-bouillon.
- Have ready a frozen freezer pack sealed in a heavy-duty plastic bag or a large heavy-duty sealable plastic bag filled with ice cubes. Make an ice bath to cool the shrimp: transfer several cups (or more, depending on the quantity of shrimp) of the broth to a large heatproof bowl. Place the ice pack in the bowl of broth; move the pack around until the broth is well chilled (drain and add more ice to the bag as needed). Return the heat to high and bring the remaining mixture to a rolling boil. Add the shrimp and boil until the shells are pink and the meat is white, 1 to 2 minutes. Do not overcook.
- Drain the shrimp in a colander or remove with a slotted spoon, then immediately transfer to the chilled liquid to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
- To prepare the endive, cut off and discard the root ends. Pull the heads apart one leaf at a time. Arrange the leaves in concentric circles like a flower on a large platter.
- To prepare the salad, peel, devein, and coarsely chop the shrimp. Place in a bowl with the chopped tarragon and mayonnaise; stir to combine. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper.
- To assemble, place 1 generous teaspoon of shrimp salad near the trimmed bottom edge of each endive leaf. Garnish each with a tarragon leaf. Serve immediately.
- making ahead
- The shrimp salad can be prepared completely ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The leaves can be prepared and wrapped in damp paper towels in a sealable plastic bag overnight. Finally, up to 2 hours ahead, the filled endive leaves can be arranged on the platter, covered with a damp paper towel, and refrigerated. Serve chilled.
Tips:
- To save time, buy pre-cooked shrimp. If using raw shrimp, cook them before assembling the salad.
- For a more flavorful salad, use a variety of fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, and dill.
- If you don't have endive, you can substitute another type of lettuce, such as romaine or butter lettuce.
- To make the salad more filling, add some cooked quinoa or rice.
- For a lighter salad, use a light mayonnaise or Greek yogurt-based dressing.
- Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later.
Conclusion:
Shrimp salad on endive is a light, refreshing, and flavorful salad that is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can create a delicious and satisfying salad that everyone will enjoy.
