CURRIED SHRIMP AND RICE SALAD



CURRIED SHRIMP AND RICE SALAD image

Categories     Rice     Shellfish     Side

Yield Makes six servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pkg RiceARoni Fried Rice
1/4 cup short or long grain rice
2 tbsp curry powder
2 1/2 cups water
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 bunch parsley, finely chopped
3/4 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup slivered almonds,toasted
1/2 lb. salad shrimp, well rinsed and drained
½ cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon sugar

Steps:

  • Cook the Rice A Roni and white rice in a covered saute pan according to Rice A Roni box directions - Toward the end of sautéing the rice mixture, add curry powder to pan and let it sauté for a minute before adding the water. Don't forget to add Rice A Roni seasoning packet. Be careful not to cook the rice too long. Let it sit undisturbed in the pan uncovered until it is cooled. Try not to stir the rice too much after it's cooked so it doesn't get broken or too mushy. Chop parsley (lots!) and peppers. Mix mayo, juice and sugar to make dressing. In large bowl, gently toss the curry rice, chopped vegetables, raisins, almonds, and shrimp with the dressing. I only use dressing to lightly moisten and bind the ingredients. The mixed salad should still be "crumbly" not stuck together with dressing Tip: If your raisins aren't tender, they usually benefit by soaking them while you are cooking the rice in a little orange juice.

CURRIED SHRIMP SALAD



CURRIED SHRIMP SALAD image

Categories     Salad     Shellfish

Yield 2 main dish

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 teaspoon oil
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon finely minced fresh ginger
1/3 cup plain low-fat yogurt
1 cup chopped, cooked shrimp
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup coarsely chopped roasted cashews
salt
pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped scallions, divided

Steps:

  • In a small skillet, heat the oil, add the curry, and cook the mixture for about 30 seconds to eliminate the raw taste of the curry. Then, in a medium bowl, mix curry and oil with ginger and yogurt. Add the shrimp, raisins, cashews, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of the scallions. Toss the ingredients to combine them thoroughly. Before serving, bring the salad to room temperature, and garnish with the remaining scallions.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest shrimp possible: Look for shrimp that are firm and have a translucent appearance. Avoid shrimp that are slimy or have a strong odor.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery. Cook shrimp until they are opaque and pink, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Use a flavorful curry powder: The curry powder is what gives this salad its unique flavor. Choose a curry powder that is well-balanced and has a good blend of spices.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the ingredients to your taste: This recipe is a great starting point, but feel free to add or omit ingredients to suit your own preferences.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Curried shrimp salad is best served immediately after it is made. The shrimp will become tough and the salad will lose its flavor if it is stored for too long.

Conclusion:

Curried shrimp salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer picnic or potluck. It is also a great way to use up leftover shrimp. With its flavorful curry dressing and crisp vegetables, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
