Scandinavian Shrimp Salad With Dill And Cornichons Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Whisk mayonnaise, chopped dill, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice in medium bowl. Add shrimp, cucumber, and cornichons and toss to coat. Season generously with salt and pepper.
• Nestle 2 lettuce leaves on each of 4 plates. Mound shrimp salad in leaves, dividing equally, and serve.

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil in a large pot over high heat. Add salt, sugar, and dill sprigs; stir until sugar has dissolved. Pour in shrimp and cook until the shells turn pink, and the meat is no longer translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Strain the shrimp through a colander, discard dill sprigs, and chill until cold in the refrigerator, about 30 minutes.
• Once shrimp have cooled, peel and devein them; discard the shells. Whisk together oil, vinegar, minced dill, salt, and pepper; toss with shrimp meat to coat. Cover, and chill overnight in the refrigerator; serve with sprigs of fresh dill.

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a medium saucepan; add enough water to cover by 1 inch. Add 2 tablespoons salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-high and cook until potatoes are easily pierced with the tip of a knife, 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk together pickling liquid, mustard, and sugar. Whisk in oil; season with salt and pepper. Stir in fennel fronds. Transfer potatoes to a bowl with a slotted spoon, and toss with 2 tablespoons dressing.
• Return water to a boil; add shrimp. Remove from heat and let stand, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are bright pink and opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer to an ice-water bath until cool. Drain well. Toss lettuce and sliced fennel with 2 tablespoons dressing; arrange on a platter. Top with potatoes, shrimp, cornichons, and eggs. Drizzle with remaining dressing; serve.

Steps:

• Mix sour cream, mayonnaise, and dill in a bowl. Stir in 1 teaspoon lemon zest and 1/2 of the lemon juice. Set remaining zest and juice aside for another use.
• Blot shrimp dry with paper towels and add to sour cream mixture. Add salt and season with pepper; mix well. Put in the refrigerator until chilled, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

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