ROASTED SHRIMP COCKTAIL SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler to high with a rack set 3-inches from the heat source.
• Toss the shrimp and asparagus with 1/4 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons horseradish, oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Spread out on a rimmed baking sheet in one layer and broil, stirring once or twice, until the shrimp are just cooked through and lightly charred in spots along with the asparagus, about 6 minutes.
• Stir together the remaining 1/3 cup ketchup, the remaining tablespoon horseradish, the sour cream, lemon juice, and 3 tablespoons water. Stir in half of the parsley.
• Put an iceberg wedge on each of 4 plates and divide the shrimp and asparagus evenly among them. Drizzle with the dressing and sprinkle with the remaining parsley. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.

FRUIT COCKTAIL DE LUXE W/ COOKED FRUIT SALAD DRESSING CA. 1927

Steps:

• FRUIT COCKTAIL DE LUXE DIRECTIONS:.
• Combine fruit of choice, marshmallows and cooked dressing and whipped cream and chill. Serve on a bed of fresh lettuce and garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and pineapple cubes.
• FRUIT SALAD DRESSING:.
• Mix the beaten eggs, sugar,flour, salt, pineapple juice, lemon and orange juices in a medium saucepan.
• Over very low to medium low heat, stir all ingredients constantly until the mixture begins to thicken. This will take about 10 minutes. Low heat and constant stirring will prevent the eggs from curdling. (This is actually a Fruit Curd that you are making.).
• After mixture thickens and coats the back of a clean spoon, remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
• In the meantime, whip the whipped cream, starting on low speed for 2-3 minutes. As cream thickens, add both vanilla and almond extracts and then the 1/4 cup sugar. Beat until whipped cream holds soft peaks.
• When ready to serve, fold the whipped cream into the cooled Dressing. Add mixture to fruit pieces and serve.
• Variation I: Golden Pineapple Dressing--Omit orange juice. Use 2 egg yolks in place of whole egg. Use only 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. Add 1/4 cup butter.
