SHRIMP LOUIE SALAD

The Louie salad is a California original that is usually served with shrimp or crab. My twist is to saute the shrimp, but you can also poach and chill them like the original. If using crab, just substitute cooked canned crab.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup olive oil mayonnaise
1/2 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 large eggs
1 pound (12- to 15-count) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 hearts romaine lettuce, washed and torn
2 ripe Roma tomatoes, cut into 6 wedges
1/2 English cucumber, thinly sliced
1 ripe avocado, diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

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.

Overcooking will make them tough. - If you don't have cooked shrimp on hand, you can use canned shrimp. Just be sure to rinse them well and drain them before using. - Use a variety of vegetables in your pasta salad. This will add color, flavor, and texture. - Don't be afraid to experiment with different dressings. A simple vinaigrette is always a good option, but you can also try a creamy dressing or a tangy citrus dressing. - Serve the pasta salad immediately or chill it for later.
