Curried Shrimp Salad Recipes

Steps:

• For the dressing: Cut the top and bottom from an orange so it sits flat. Working from the top down, cut away the peel and pith to expose the flesh. Cut out the orange segments, leaving the membrane behind. Squeeze any juice from the membrane into a large bowl. Repeat with the remaining orange. You should have about 1/4 cup juice. Reserve the segments.
• Whisk the cream, vinegar, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper into the orange juice. While whisking, pour in the olive oil in a slow, steady stream to make a creamy, slightly thick dressing. Chill while you make the salad.
• For the salad: Sprinkle the shrimp with the Old Bay and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the shrimp in two batches until just cooked through, about 3 minutes per batch. Remove to a plate to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
• Combine the shrimp, reserved orange segments, avocado, cucumber and fennel in the bowl with the dressing and toss gently. Mound the lettuce on a platter or individual plates and top with the salad. Garnish with fennel fronds.

Steps:

• Bring 5 quarts of water, 3 tablespoons salt, and the lemon to a boil in a large saucepan. Add half the shrimp and reduce the heat to medium. Cook uncovered for only 3 minutes or until the shrimp are barely cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon to a bowl of cold water. Bring the water back to a boil and repeat with the remaining shrimp. Let cool; then peel, and devein the shrimp.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, wine or vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, and dill. Combine with the peeled shrimp. Add the red onion and celery and check the seasonings. Serve or cover and refrigerate for a few hours.

Steps:

• Cook the shrimp and rice (not together).
• Chop celery.
• Toast the slivered almonds on a baking sheet in your oven.
• Set aside half the slivered almonds.
• When everything has cooled, mix together and add your dash of garlic salt.
• Refrigerate until serving day (1-2 days later).
• Serve on butter lettuce.
• Sprinkle with reserved slivered almonds.

Steps:

• Heat grill until very hot. Place rice and 1 3/4 cups water in a small saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer, covered, about 20 minutes. Let sit 5 minutes, fluff with a fork, and let cool.
• Grate zest from 1 lemon into a large bowl; squeeze both lemons to yield 6 tablespoons juice. Add to the bowl, then add rice, mint, cilantro, parsley, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper; toss to combine.
• Leaving tails intact, peel and devein shrimp; transfer to a medium bowl. Add remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and curry powder. Toss until shrimp are well coated. Thread shrimp onto skewers, and place on hot grill. Cook until pink and opaque; serve over rice.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the first five ingredients; toss gently. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the oil, vinegar, brown sugar, soy sauce and seasonings; shake well. Add to shrimp mixture; toss. Cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Serve on lettuce; garnish with tomatoes if desired.

Steps:

• Toss the French dressing with the rice in a large bowl.
• Blend the mayonnaise with the onion, curry powder, salt, pepper, and mustard and add to the rice blend.
• Just before serving, take half the shrimp and cut them in half.
• Blend this into the mixture and then add the other shrimp whole (not cut) and gently mix to blend.

Steps:

• In small bowl, mix all dressing ingredients.
• Cook and drain peas as directed on bag. Rinse with cold water; drain. In medium bowl, place shrimp, celery and peas. Add dressing; toss to coat. Cover; refrigerate at least 2 hours to blend flavors.
• Just before serving, gently stir shoestring potatoes and cashews into shrimp mixture. Arrange endive leaves, pointed ends out, around edge of medium serving platter or 4 plates. Spoon shrimp mixture into center of platter or divide among 4 plates. Sprinkle with additional cashews and shoestring potatoes if desired.
