Original Louie Dressing Food

CRAB LOUIS

Steps:

• On 4 luncheon-size plates, make beds of lettuce. Mound crab on top. Combine dressing ingredients and spoon over crab, then garnish each plate with tomatoes and hard-cooked eggs.

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.

CRAB LOUIE SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add asparagus and cook until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove asparagus and and immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes to stop the cooking process. Pat dry.
• Whisk mayonnaise, lemon juice, ketchup, relish, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper together in a small bowl to make the dressing.
• Toss crabmeat, lettuce, cucumber, and celery together in a large bowl with dressing to taste. Pile salad mixture evenly onto 4 plates; add equal portions of asparagus, avocado, tomatoes, and eggs. Garnish with lemon wedges.

LOUIE DRESSING

Steps:

• Combine the ingredients and mix very thoroughly. Refrigerate for a few hours before serving so all flavors blend.
• Good on shrimp tacos, crab salad, and seafood cocktails.

ORIGINAL LOUIS DRESSING

Steps:

• Mix together well and adjust seasonings to taste. I like to add a little extra chili sauce and not quite as much green onion. Serve chilled.

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.
