1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, divided

1/4 cup basil leaves, washed and stemmed
1/4 cup flat parsley leaves, washed and stemmed
Chunk of Parmesan cheese for shavings

  • Place some salad evenly divided on several plates and divide the sliced artichokes among the plates by topping each dish with some marinated artichokes.
  • Shave fresh Parmesan cheese on each dish to finish.

SHRIMP, ARTICHOKE AND WHITE BEAN SALAD



Shrimp, Artichoke And White Bean Salad image

Provided by Moira Hodgson

Categories     salads and dressings, side dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound white beans
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
4 cloves garlic crushed
2 to 3 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1/2 to 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
2 pounds baby artichokes
1/2 lemon
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
2 pounds medium shrimp soaked for 1 hour in cold salted water
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup fish stock or clam juice
Bouquet garni (parsley, thyme and bay leaf tied in a cheesecloth)
1 onion, sliced

Steps:

  • Soak the beans overnight in water to cover. Drain, cover with fresh cold water and simmer for 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and continue cooking until tender (about 20 minutes more).
  • Combine the mustard, crushed garlic (mashing it into the mustard with a fork), vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper and mix well. Remove the garlic cloves and pour the mixture over the beans while they are still warm. Add the tomatoes, toss and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, trim the outer leaves from the artichokes. Cut off the stalks and slice off the tops, two-thirds down horizontally. Squeeze the lemon half into a bowl of cold water large enough to hold the artichokes. Cut the artichokes into thin slices vertically. Add them to the water as you trim them, to stop them from turning brown.
  • Heat oil in a skillet. Dry the artichoke slices in a salad spinner or with a kitchen towel. Add the artichokes and saute, turning from time to time until golden. Drain on paper towels.
  • Cook the shrimp. Bring the wine, stock, bouquet garni, onion and salt and pepper to boil. Add the shrimp and cook for one to two minutes. Do not overcook them or they will be mushy. Cool, peel and chop them in half-inch pieces. Add to the beans and toss. Correct seasoning.
  • To serve, place the mixture in a shallow dish and arrange the artichokes in a circle around the edges. Sprinkle with chives.

SHRIMP & BABY ARTICHOKE SALAD



SHRIMP & BABY ARTICHOKE SALAD image

Categories     Salad     Shellfish     Sauté     Kid-Friendly     Quick & Easy     Dinner     Lunch     Spring     Healthy

Yield 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds medium-size raw shrimp, shelled and deveined
2 cups broccoli florets
2 cans (8 ounces each) water-packed artichoke hearts, drained
8 scallions (green onions), cleaned, trimmed and cut diagonally into 1/2-inch pieces
2 cups Sherry Mayonnaise (Recipe Follows)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 whole egg
2 egg yolks
1 tablespoon prepared Dijon-style mustard
1/4 cup sherry vinegar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 cups olive oil

Steps:

  • 1. Bring 4-quarts salted water to a boil and drop in the shrimp. Wait 1 minute; empty the pot into a colander set in the sink. Let the shrimp cool in the colander. 2. Bring a second pot of salted water to a boil and drop in the broccoli florets. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until stems are just tender; do not overcook. Remove florets from water with a slotted spoon or skimmer and drop into a bowl of ice water. This will stop the cooking process and set the brilliant green color. When broccoli is cool, drain well and reserve. 3. Cut the artichokes into halves or quarters, depending on their size, and combine in a mixing bowl with the shrimp, broccoli and scallions. 4. Add sherry mayonnaise, toss, season with salt and pepper to taste, and toss again. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Select Fresh Ingredients: Use the freshest shrimp, baby artichokes, and vegetables for the best flavor and texture.
  • Clean and Prep Properly: Devein the shrimp, trim the artichokes, and clean the vegetables thoroughly before cooking.
  • Cook the Shrimp Perfectly: Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Cook until it turns pink and opaque.
  • Marinate the Shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices enhances its taste.
  • Steam or Roast the Artichokes: Steaming or roasting the artichokes brings out their natural sweetness and tenderness.
  • Use a Variety of Vegetables: Include a variety of colorful vegetables to add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the salad.
  • Make a Tangy Dressing: A simple vinaigrette dressing made with olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs complements the salad well.
  • Chill before Serving: Chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Conclusion:

This shrimp baby artichoke salad is a delightful and refreshing dish that combines the flavors of the sea, garden, and zesty dressing. With its vibrant colors and textures, it's a perfect appetizer or light lunch. The salad is also versatile and can be customized with different vegetables, herbs, and dressings to suit your taste.
