SHRIMP LOUIE SALAD



Shrimp Louie Salad image

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.

AMAZING SHRIMP LOUIE SALAD



Amazing Shrimp Louie Salad image

This is the my personal favorite of all salads, and it makes a great lunch or light dinner. You don't see it much any more in restaurants since it was popular back during the 1950's (the garnishes of olive, egg, asparagus and cuke are "traditional"), but it's so hard to top, I can't believe it's not on every menu to this day.

Provided by Rare Affaire

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 25m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 lb baby shrimp (a sustainable product for you "green" chefs)
1 hard-boiled egg, sliced (Instructions below for AB's perfect not-boiled hard-boiled egg.*)
6 -8 slices cucumbers, peeled
3 -4 grape tomatoes, halved
6 -8 black olives, pitted
4 spears canned asparagus (Yes, canned is actually better... fresh is too tough, even if cooked perfectly.)
1/4 cup thousand island dressing (or a much better dressing in my opinion... Louie Dressing (For Seafood Salads or Reuben Sandwiches).)
1/4 head iceberg lettuce, torn into bite-sized pieces (or Romaine if you prefer)

Steps:

  • *For the perfect hard-boiled egg, courtesy of AB: Place a steamer in a large sauce pan with a well-fitted lid. Bring about 1/4 inch of water up to boiling. Place no less than 3 and no more than 6 eggs in the steamer. Cover and steam for 12 minutes. Remove eggs from steamer and drop directly into iced water. The eggs will be firm but tender, easy to peel, and will have a solid and creamy but not dry yolk. Thanks, AB!
  • Place your salad bowl in the freezer for 30 minutes before assembling the salad. All the ingredients should be well-chilled before beginning.
  • Begin assembling the salad with the lettuce.
  • Add the cucumber slices, tomato halves, asparagus spears, black olives, and sliced hard-boiled egg.
  • Top with shrimp.
  • Serve dressing in a separate container so the diner can use as much dressing as they prefer.

NEW SHRIMP LOUIE (POACHED SHRIMP SALAD)



New Shrimp Louie (Poached Shrimp Salad) image

In this spirit of classics like shrimp Louie or niçoise salad, this is a fairly basic, highly customizable salad-for-dinner deal, in which the nonnegotiables are fresh seafood (shrimp or salmon), crunchy lettuce (romaine or Little Gems) and tons of lemon (which comes in a tangy vinaigrette made with shallot and tarragon). From there, you can add any number of raw or lightly blanched vegetables, like shaved radish, sliced avocado or blanched green beans. To make things easy and efficient, the shrimp, eggs and green beans can all be cooked in the same pot of boiling water, so it's not much of a fuss.

Categories     brunch, dinner, lunch, weekday, salads and dressings, seafood, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Kosher salt
8 ounces green beans, tails trimmed
1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, shell on, deveined if you like
4 large eggs
1 small shallot, sliced
2 tablespoons fresh tarragon leaves, finely chopped
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 large head romaine lettuce or 3 heads Little Gem lettuce, torn or cut into large pieces
1 medium watermelon radish or 3 regular radishes (or a mix of both), thinly sliced
1 avocado, thinly sliced
Olive oil, for serving
1 cup aioli or mayonnaise, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add green beans and cook until bright green and just tender, 2 minutes or so. Remove from water and transfer to a plate to cool. (No need to use an ice bath, but if you want to, go for it.)
  • Add shrimp and cook until bright pink and just cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes depending on the size of the shrimp. Transfer to a plate to cool. Once the shrimp are cool enough to handle, peel.
  • Return the water to a boil and gently lower in eggs. Boil for 6 to 7 minutes (6 for runnier yolks, 7 for slightly firmer). Remove from heat and run under cold water for a minute or two. (Feel free to place them in an ice bath, if you wish, but I find very cold running water does the trick.)
  • Combine shallot, tarragon and lemon juice in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper.
  • To assemble the salad, arrange the lettuce on a large serving platter or in a shallow bowl and scatter with radishes, avocado, green beans and shrimp. Spoon shallot mixture over everything and drizzle with olive oil. Peel and halve the eggs and nestle in the salad. Serve with aioli or mayonnaise alongside for individual dressing.
