Shrimp Louis Platter Salad Recipes

SHRIMP LOUIS PLATTER SALAD

Steps:

• On large serving platter, arrange cabbage, shrimp, bacon, bell pepper and avocado. Drizzle dressing over salad.

SHRIMP LOUIE SALAD

Steps:

• For the dressing: Whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a small bowl until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• For the salad: To make medium-boiled eggs, put the eggs in a small saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat, cover and let stand 5 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath. Remove the shells once cool and quarter each egg lengthwise.
• Heat a large skillet over medium high. Put the shrimp to a medium bowl, sprinkle with the Old Bay Seasoning and toss to coat. Swirl the oil into the skillet, then stir in the shrimp and cook, tossing occasionally, just until pink and firm, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and reserve.
• Put the lettuce, tomato, cucumber and avocado in a second large bowl. Season with 1 pinch each salt and pepper. Dress with about 1/2 cup of the dressing and toss gently to coat the vegetables. Divide onto 4 plates and arrange the shrimp and medium-boiled eggs on top before serving. Serve the remaining dressing on the side.

ROASTED SHRIMP COCKTAIL LOUIS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Dry the shrimp well with paper towels. Place them on a sheet pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, toss well, and spread them out in one layer. Roast for 10 minutes, until firm and just cooked through. Set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, chili sauce, lemon zest, lemon juice, horseradish, Sriracha, Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Stir in the scallions and capers. Arrange the shrimp on a platter with the sauce in the middle for dipping. Offer a separate bowl for the discarded shrimp tails.

AMAZING SHRIMP LOUIE SALAD

Steps:

• *For the perfect hard-boiled egg, courtesy of AB: Place a steamer in a large sauce pan with a well-fitted lid. Bring about 1/4 inch of water up to boiling. Place no less than 3 and no more than 6 eggs in the steamer. Cover and steam for 12 minutes. Remove eggs from steamer and drop directly into iced water. The eggs will be firm but tender, easy to peel, and will have a solid and creamy but not dry yolk. Thanks, AB!
• Place your salad bowl in the freezer for 30 minutes before assembling the salad. All the ingredients should be well-chilled before beginning.
• Begin assembling the salad with the lettuce.
• Add the cucumber slices, tomato halves, asparagus spears, black olives, and sliced hard-boiled egg.
• Top with shrimp.
• Serve dressing in a separate container so the diner can use as much dressing as they prefer.

NEW SHRIMP LOUIE (POACHED SHRIMP SALAD)

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add green beans and cook until bright green and just tender, 2 minutes or so. Remove from water and transfer to a plate to cool. (No need to use an ice bath, but if you want to, go for it.)
• Add shrimp and cook until bright pink and just cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes depending on the size of the shrimp. Transfer to a plate to cool. Once the shrimp are cool enough to handle, peel.
• Return the water to a boil and gently lower in eggs. Boil for 6 to 7 minutes (6 for runnier yolks, 7 for slightly firmer). Remove from heat and run under cold water for a minute or two. (Feel free to place them in an ice bath, if you wish, but I find very cold running water does the trick.)
• Combine shallot, tarragon and lemon juice in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper.
• To assemble the salad, arrange the lettuce on a large serving platter or in a shallow bowl and scatter with radishes, avocado, green beans and shrimp. Spoon shallot mixture over everything and drizzle with olive oil. Peel and halve the eggs and nestle in the salad. Serve with aioli or mayonnaise alongside for individual dressing.

• Evenly divide the lettuce, cucumbers, crab, shrimp, avocado, tomatoes and eggs between 4 salad plates.
• Prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, chili sauce, relish, salt and pepper. Spoon dressing over the salad and garnish with parsley and lemon.
