Shrimp Salad With Herb Dill Dressing Food

CREAMY SHRIMP AND DILL SALAD

Steps:

• To cook the shrimp: Fill a large bowl with water and add plenty of ice. Set aside. Fill a large pot halfway with water. Add the 1/4 cup dill, the garlic, a nice pinch of salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Bring to a boil and simmer until the pot is fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the shrimp and remove the pot from the heat. Stir, allowing the shrimp to cook until pink and opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain the pot in a colander and pour the shrimp into the ice bath to cool.
• To make the salad: In a large bowl, combine the dill, grated garlic, mayonnaise, sour cream, yogurt, cucumber, onion, lemon zest, and sugar. Taste, and then season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Remove the shrimp from the ice bath, dry gently with a paper towel, and coarsely chop. Stir them into the dressing until combined.
• Tear the first few layers from the center of each iceberg wedge (creating a "bowl" in the wedge) and put them on individual salad plates. Divide the shrimp salad among each plate, filling the lettuce "bowl" and letting the salad spill over onto the wedge. Garnish with chopped dill. Serve cold or at room temperature.

DILL AND SHRIMP SALAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, lemon juice, lime juice, celery, onion, dill, mayonnaise, and pepper. Mix well and refrigerate until chilled.

GRILLED HERB SHRIMP

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients and allow them to marinate for 1 hour at room temperature or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
• Skewer the shrimp. I use 3 or 4 shrimp on a 12-inch skewer for dinner. Heat a grill with coals and brush the grill with oil to prevent the shrimp from sticking. Grill the shrimp for only 1 1/2 minutes on each side.

COLD SHRIMP SALAD WITH CAPERS AND DILL

Steps:

• Reduce heat to low, add garlic and stir and cook about 30 seconds or until fragrant.
• Cool and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
• Combine onion and salt in a colander; let stand 15 minutes or until wilted. Rinse and dry with paper towels.
• Whisk mayonnaise and remaining ingredients in a large bowl.
• Add shrimp and onion; mix to coat shrimp with dressing.

SHRIMP SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of salted water to a simmer. Slice one of the lemons and add to the pot, along with the shrimp. Simmer, never letting the water boil if you can help it, until the shrimp turn opaque, 2 to 4 minutes, depending on their size. Drain well, and discard the lemon slices. If you like, you can chop the cooked shrimp into smaller pieces.
• Grate the zest from the remaining lemon into a large bowl. Halve the naked lemon and squeeze the juice into the bowl. Whisk in the mayonnaise and oil.
• Add the celery, onion, herbs and cooked shrimp, tossing to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to eat. Serve with lettuce and avocado, if you like.
