Crab Shrimp Louis Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Make the sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, chili sauce, sour cream, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, half the scallions and a pinch of salt. Taste for seasoning.
• For the crab: Spread the crab out on a rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the remaining scallions and half the chives. Drizzle with the sauce to taste. Do not mix.
• To plate: Arrange the lettuce leaves as cups in a circle on a large plate. Disperse the tomatoes around the lettuce. Spoon some of the crab into each lettuce cup. Top each cup with an egg quarter and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the remaining chives and a squeeze of lemon. Hold in the refrigerator until ready to serve and enjoy cold.

Steps:

• Place the crabmeat, shrimp, celery, bell pepper, and onion into a bowl. Stir in the mayonnaise, dill, and Worcestershire sauce until evenly blended. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate 1 hour before serving.

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.

Steps:

• 1. Hard cook eggs and chill. Make dressing by mixing all ingredients together and chilling in the fridge so flavors can marry. Prepare salad greens and chill until crisp. I use 1/2 romaine and 1/2 spring mix or spinach. Cut tomatoes in wedges.
• 2. When all salad ingredients are well chilled, assemble salads in 4 shallow bowls or plates. Lettuce, shrimp or crab on top and tomato and egg wedges around sides. Top with dressing and add additional fresh squeezed lemon if desired. Enjoy! This salad serves 4 for a main entree or 8 as side salads.

Steps:

• 1. 4 eggs 1 head iceberg lettuce, shredded 1/4 cucumber, thinly sliced 1/2 pound crabmeat 8 ounces cooked shrimp 1 avocado - peeled, pitted and sliced 8 cherry tomatoes, halved 2/3 cup mayonnaise 1/3 cup hot chile sauce 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish salt and pepper to taste 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley 1 lemon - cut into wedges, for garnish
• 2. Directions 1. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil; cover, remove from heat, and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, cool, peel and chop. 2. Evenly divide the lettuce, cucumbers, crab, shrimp, avocado, tomatoes and eggs between 4 salad plates. 3. 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.

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.

Steps:

• For the house seasoning: Combine garlic powder, onion powder and seasoning salt in a small bowl.
• For the mango vinaigrette: Combine mango, vinegar, honey, lime juice, ginger, salt, shallot and 1 tablespoon house seasoning in a blender. Turn blender speed to high and slowly add olive oil until blended well. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use. (Vinaigrette keeps, refrigerated, up to 7 days. It's great on salads, fish and chicken.)
• For the apple cider vinaigrette: Combine vinegar, honey and 1 tablespoon house seasoning in a blender. With blender on high, slowly add oil until well blended. Remove and store in an airtight jar, refrigerated, for up to 3 months.
• For the corn relish: Combine the corn, peppers, onion, cilantro, 1 tablespoon house seasoning and 1/2 cup apple vinaigrette in a bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• For the avocado hoe cakes: Mix together cornmeal, buttermilk, onion, oil, pepper, cilantro, eggs, avocado and jalapeno in a bowl.
• Add just enough frying oil to a skillet or griddle to coat the bottom and heat over medium-high heat. Drop about 2 tablespoons batter into the skillet for each hoe cake. Cook until browned, about 2 minutes, then turn and brown the other side, 2 more minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
• For the Southern poached seafood: Add oil to a saute pan and heat over medium-high heat. Place shrimp in heated pan and place lobster meat in same pan, keeping shrimp and lobster in separate corners of the pan. Add crab boil seasoning, seafood seasoning and 1/2 cup water. Cook shrimp and lobster until translucent, about 2 minutes, then add crab meat, also keeping separate, and continuing to cook until heated through, about another 30 seconds. Transfer seafood to a small platter, keeping separate, and refrigerate to cool.
• Place about 3/4 cup arugula in the center of a plate and top with 1/4 cup corn relish. Off to the side, place 3 warm avocado hoe cakes. Atop each avocado hoe cake, place a different type of chilled seafood. Drizzle each topped hoe cake with mango vinaigrette and drizzle additional mango vinaigrette on the plate as desired. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
