Steps:
- To make the shrimp salad: Toss the shrimp with 3 teaspoons (1 tablespoon) of oil in a large bowl to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat a heavy large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the shrimp until they are just cooked through or pink, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer the shrimp to a plate and toss with 1 teaspoon lime juice. Cool completely. Cut the shrimp into small cubes.
- To make the parsley sauce: Blend the parsley, sour cream, yogurt, and remaining 2 teaspoons lime juice in a food processor until the parsley is finely chopped. Season the sauce, to taste, with salt and pepper.
- Toss the shrimp with the chives, tarragon, capers, and remaining 2 teaspoons of oil in a large bowl to coat. Season the salad, to taste, with salt and pepper.
- Separate the endive leaves and arrange on a platter. Spoon about 1 generous tablespoon of the shrimp salad atop each leaf. Drizzle the parsley sauce over the salad and serve immediately.
BELGIAN ENDIVE WITH GOLD COAST SHRIMP SALAD
Steps:
- To poach the shrimp, combine the water, carrot, celery, lemon, onion, bay leaves, and 1 tablespoon of the salt in a large pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, then decrease the heat to low. Simmer gently for about 10 minutes to make a flavorful court-bouillon.
- Have ready a frozen freezer pack sealed in a heavy-duty plastic bag or a large heavy-duty sealable plastic bag filled with ice cubes. Make an ice bath to cool the shrimp: transfer several cups (or more, depending on the quantity of shrimp) of the broth to a large heatproof bowl. Place the ice pack in the bowl of broth; move the pack around until the broth is well chilled (drain and add more ice to the bag as needed). Return the heat to high and bring the remaining mixture to a rolling boil. Add the shrimp and boil until the shells are pink and the meat is white, 1 to 2 minutes. Do not overcook.
- Drain the shrimp in a colander or remove with a slotted spoon, then immediately transfer to the chilled liquid to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
- To prepare the endive, cut off and discard the root ends. Pull the heads apart one leaf at a time. Arrange the leaves in concentric circles like a flower on a large platter.
- To prepare the salad, peel, devein, and coarsely chop the shrimp. Place in a bowl with the chopped tarragon and mayonnaise; stir to combine. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper.
- To assemble, place 1 generous teaspoon of shrimp salad near the trimmed bottom edge of each endive leaf. Garnish each with a tarragon leaf. Serve immediately.
- making ahead
- The shrimp salad can be prepared completely ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The leaves can be prepared and wrapped in damp paper towels in a sealable plastic bag overnight. Finally, up to 2 hours ahead, the filled endive leaves can be arranged on the platter, covered with a damp paper towel, and refrigerated. Serve chilled.

BRAISED SHRIMP AND CREAMY ENDIVE
Steps:
- Trim endives and quarter lengthwise. Cut out and discard cores, then cut endives diagonally into 1/2-inch-wide strips. Toss with sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a bowl.
- Melt butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over moderately low heat and add endive mixture, tossing to coat. Cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until endive is tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
- While endive is cooking, toss shrimp with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice in a bowl.
- When endive is tender, increase heat to moderate and cook, uncovered, stirring, until juices are evaporated, about 2 minutes. Stir in cream and simmer 1 minute.
- Scatter shrimp over endive and cook, covered, over low heat, without stirring, until shrimp are just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes.
SHRIMP CEVICHE ON ENDIVE
I had my hands in this recipe. This is the one my mom and I made! Very good and very simple to make. Again, squeezing the lemons and limes is the most difficult part. We served these on endive leaves, which was a very pretty presentation, but it would also look lovely served in a martini glass. A jalapeno pepper may be substituted for the serrano pepper if desired. And remember, the lemon and lime juice are what "cook" the shrimp in this recipe, so the smaller the pieces of shrimp the quicker it will "cook". The servings are an estimate, we doubled the recipe in class. It does make quite a bit though.

SHRIMP SALAD-STUFFED ENDIVE
This is nice as a first course for a summer dinner party or as an hors d'oeuvre for a cocktail party. The recipe was originally published in Southern Living magazine. This recipe makes 24 leaves; I serve 3 at a time for a first course, or one leaf per serving as an hors d'oeuvre. "Cooking Time" is the time it takes to stuff the leaves.

Tips:
- To make the perfect endive with shrimp filling, start with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Fresh endives will have crisp, green leaves, while frozen or wilted endives will be limp and less flavorful.
- To ensure the shrimp filling is cooked properly, cook until it is opaque and firm, but not overcooked, as overcooked shrimp will be tough.
- For a more flavorful filling, use a variety of seasonings, such as garlic, onion, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
- To prevent the endive leaves from becoming soggy, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes before filling.
- If you are using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
- To make the dish more visually appealing, garnish with fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or dill.
Conclusion:
Endive with shrimp filling is a delicious and elegant appetizer or main course that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of fresh, crisp endive leaves and succulent shrimp filling, this dish is sure to impress your guests.
