Lemon Shrimp Salad Recipes

LEMON SHRIMP SALAD

Steps:

• Prepare the lemons:
• With a sharp paring knife, slice a thin sliver of lemon from the bottom side of each lemon so they will sit level and not roll. On the top part of a lemon gently cut an oval shape through the rind and remove that section of the lemon. Using a teaspoon and the paring knife, (a grapefruit spoon would work really well) scoop out the inside of the lemon leaving a lemon-rind shell. Be very careful so you do not scrape through the bottom as it will be thiner from removing the sliver of rind. Continue with the other three lemons and when they have all been prepared into lemon shells reserve them until needed.
• In a saucepan over medium-high heat, add the water and salt and bring to a boil. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the shrimp and allow to poach until barely pink. Drain the water from the pan and transfer the shrimp to a plate lined with a double thickness of paper towels. Place the shrimp in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the vinaigrette and chopping the vegetables.
• Add the garlic, lemon juice, mustard, salt and pepper to a blender or mini food processor and blend for 30 seconds. With the motor running, add the oil slowly in a thin stream and continue to blend to a creamy thickness. Transfer to a small pint jar and refrigerate Makes 3/4 of a cup of dressing.
• When the shrimp is completely chilled, select a few shrimp and reserve them for garnishment. With the remaining shrimp, remove the tails and cut each shrimp into several sections. Add the cut-up shrimp to a large salad bowl, add the cucumber, celery, onion, red bell pepper and the parsley. Toss with 2 tablespoons of vinaigrette to combine.
• Line each of the lemon-peel shells with a lettuce leaf, fill each lemon-peel shell with one-forth of the shrimp salad, place additional lettuce leaves on salad plates, add the salad and garnish with a shrimp. Serve and enjoy....
