Best 6 Pioneer Woman Shrimp Salad Recipes

CAESAR SALAD WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• For the garlicky croutons: Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Spread out the bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle with the garlic oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake, tossing the croutons once halfway through, until crisp, about 25 minutes. Set aside and cool completely.
• For the Caesar dressing: Put the garlic oil in a blender. Add the anchovies, mustard, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Blend until smooth. Add the Parmesan and give it a quick blitz. (You want to retain some of the texture of the cheese.)
• For the salad: Peel and pit the avocados, then slice lengthwise into spears and sprinkle with some lemon juice to prevent browning. Set aside.
• Arrange the romaine in a line on a platter with the inside of each quarter-head of lettuce facing upward. Drizzle the dressing over the lettuce, allowing it to seep into the layers of leaves. Arrange the shrimp on top, along with the croutons. Scatter the cheese shavings and parsley leaves over the top. Squeeze the lemon half over the whole platter and serve.

GRILLED SHRIMP PANZANELLA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275˚. Spread the bread on a baking sheet and bake until slightly crisp (like stale bread) but not toasted, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool.
• Preheat a grill to medium high. Whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil, the garlic, red pepper flakes and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Add the shrimp and toss. Set aside while you assemble the salad.
• Whisk the vinegar and remaining ½ cup olive oil in another large bowl. Add the tomatoes and onion and season with ½ teaspoon salt. Add the olives, capers, bread cubes and basil. Toss and let sit at room temperature while you grill the shrimp.
• Grill the shrimp, turning once, until just opaque, 3 to 4 minutes. Once the shrimp are cooked, taste a bread cube. If it's a bit dry, drizzle the salad with a few tablespoons of water and toss. Add the grilled shrimp to the salad and toss.

SHRIMP WITH ZUCCHINI NOODLES

Steps:

• Heat the butter with the olive oil in a large skillet over a medium heat. When the butter has melted, add the shrimp, onion, garlic, chile flakes, salt and pepper, then cook until the onions are translucent and the shrimp are opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the white wine, then allow it to boil and reduce slightly, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet. Cook until the zucchini is tender, about 2 more minutes. Add the tomatoes and lemon zest to the skillet, then toss to combine. Sprinkle over the Parmesan and garnish with the basil leaves. Remove the smashed garlic cloves and serve straight from the skillet.

SHRIMP LOUIE SALAD

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.

SHRIMP MANGO LETTUCE CUPS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the lemon zest and juice and garlic. Add the olive oil and cilantro, then whisk until it's all mixed together.
• Place the shrimp in a bowl, pour in half of the lemon-cilantro dressing and stir to coat. Place in the fridge to marinate for 20 minutes or up to a couple hours.
• Add the avocado to the bowl with the rest of the dressing.
• Dice up the mango: Slice off both halves around the pit, score the flesh inside the skin and invert the skin to pop out the good stuff. Then, slice off the mango pieces so they fall into the bowl with the avocado. Add the red onion and some salt and pepper and gently mix it all together.
• To serve, arrange 4 shrimp in the center of each lettuce leaf and spoon the mango-avocado salad on top. Sprinkle chives over the top to make 'em extra pretty.
