Categories     appetizer

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 hearts romaine lettuce
1 pound jumbo fully cooked shrimp, from the seafood counter in market
1 rotisserie chicken, available in many markets
4 heaping tablespoons reduced fat mayonnaise
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 lemon, zested and juiced
2 tablespoons anchovy paste, optional (But it tastes better with it in. If you think you don't like anchovies, try them in this sauce. They just taste salty and yummy!)
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, a few handfuls
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon coarse black pepper, eyeball the amount in the palm of your hand: 1 teaspoon is equal to about 1/3 of a palm full
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, pour to the count of 4

Steps:

  • Cut bottoms off the romaine and cut the heads in half lengthwise. Wash lettuce and separate the leaves. Let it dry in the dish draining rack while you prepare the rest of the menu.
  • Remove the tails from the shrimp and place the shrimp in a bowl or, pack for travel, if this is a picnic meal.
  • To remove the chicken meat from the chicken, cut the chicken breasts off first. Cut the legs and thighs off using kitchen scissors to help you. Slice the meat up on an angle. Arrange on a plate or in a plastic container.
  • Place mayonnaise, garlic, lemon, anchovy paste, cheese, Worcestershire and pepper into the blender and turn it on. Stream the extra-virgin olive oil into the dressing through center of the lid. When the oil is combined, remove the thick dressing with a spatula to a bowl or a portable plastic container.
  • Place lettuce on a serving platter or pack in large plastic bag or container to travel.
  • To assemble, spread dressing onto a lettuce leaf. Fill leaf with a large shrimp or sliced cold chicken, like a lettuce taco, and eat!
  • To pack for picnic, take the romaine hearts in plastic food storage bags. Pack the shrimp and cut chicken in separate bags and pack dressing in small plastic container.

Tips

  • Prep your shrimp: Devein and peel the shrimp, leaving the tails intact for a more elegant presentation.
  • Cook the shrimp perfectly: Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the shrimp, or they will steam instead of sear. Cook them in a single layer over medium-high heat until they are pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Make the creamy poppy seed dressing: Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, poppy seeds, lemon juice, sugar, celery, and onion in a bowl and whisk until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Assemble the salad: Arrange the cooked shrimp on a bed of lettuce or watercress. Drizzle with the creamy poppy seed dressing and sprinkle with additional poppy seeds, if desired.
  • Serve immediately: This salad is best served fresh, so enjoy it right away.

Conclusion

This shrimp salad with creamy poppy seed dressing is a light, refreshing, and flavorful dish that is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. The shrimp are cooked to perfection and the dressing is tangy and creamy. The salad is also easy to make and can be assembled in just a few minutes.
