Provided by Jessy Freimann

Categories     Salad

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 32 ounce bag frozen peas, (thawed (do not thaw in the microwave))
1 pound cooked baby cocktail shrimp (if these are not available, you can dice larger shrimp like I did)
1 can water chestnuts (chopped)
1 bunch green onions, (chopped (white and green parts))
3/4 can salted cashews ((I chopped them in this but my mother in law leaves them whole- they taste delicious either way!)
Kosher salt, (to taste)
Ground black pepper, (to taste)
1/2 - 3/4 cup mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Defrost the peas the night before in the refrigerator or in a colander under running cold water for a few minutes. Do not microwave the peas to defrost them, this will ruin the texture
  • Drain peas and then pat dry to remove excess water. Place into mixing bowl.
  • Add shrimp, water chestnuts, and green onion to the bowl.
  • Stir in mayonnaise. Start with a scoop or two and mix it. Add additional scoops as needed until you get the consistency you want. You want it the be lightly dressed without swimming in the mayonnaise (unless that's how you like it!).
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Refrigerate until you're ready to serve.

SPICY SHRIMP AND CHICKPEA SALAD



Spicy Shrimp and Chickpea Salad image

This warm salad of garlicky shrimp and herby chickpeas comes together in just 15 minutes and requires very little effort. Canned chickpeas, Fresno chiles, parsley and red onion get a quick marinade in a creamy citrus dressing while the shrimp cooks in a little garlic and olive oil. Fresno chile adds a little heat, but if you're sensitive to spice, you can remove the membranes and seeds before adding the chile to the salad. Make the dish your own by adding arugula, or swap the parsley for cilantro or the shrimp for scallops. Serve warm with a hunk of crusty bread, and enjoy leftovers straight from the fridge the next day with a squeeze of lime or lemon juice.

Categories     dinner, weekday, salads and dressings, main course

Time 15m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 medium lemon, zested and juiced
1 lime, zested and halved
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
5 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/2 small red onion, diced (about 1/4 cup)
1 Fresno chile or jalapeño, cut into thin coins or seeded and diced
1 packed cup parsley leaves and tender stems, roughly chopped
2 large garlic cloves, grated or minced
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined, patted dry

Steps:

  • In a large serving bowl, combine the lemon zest and juice, lime zest and mustard. Whisk in 3 tablespoons olive oil until smooth; season with salt and pepper. Add the chickpeas, onion, chile and most of the parsley (reserving some for garnish), and toss to coat with the dressing. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Add the garlic and red-pepper flakes, and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds, pulling the pan from the heat briefly if it seems like the garlic is burning.
  • Add the shrimp to the pan, season with salt and pepper and stir to coat with the garlic and oil. Cook until the shrimp are pink all over with a golden crust in parts, stirring and flipping the shrimp halfway through, about 4 to 6 minutes total. Turn off the heat, then squeeze the lime juice over the shrimp in the pan, stirring to combine and scraping up anything on the bottom of the pan to coat the shrimp.
  • Serve the shrimp on top of the salad. Garnish with the remaining parsley and serve.

GRILLED SHRIMP SALAD WITH BLACK EYED PEAS AND CITRUS-CHILE VINAIGRETTE



Grilled Shrimp Salad with Black Eyed Peas and Citrus-Chile Vinaigrette image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 34

Extra-virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, smashed
1 fresh green chile, halved
1 pound dried black eyed peas
2 (4-ounce) smoked ham hocks
2 bay leaves
2 quarts water
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 vine-ripe tomato, seeded and chopped
2 canned chipotle peppers in adobo, chopped
1 teaspoon sugar
1 orange, zested and juiced
1 lime, zested and juiced
1 lemon, zested and juiced
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 pounds extra large shrimp, peeled and butterflied
2 tablespoons Ancho Chili Powder, recipe follows
1/2 lime, juiced
2 large handfuls fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 bunch green onions, white and green parts, chopped
3 vine-ripe tomatoes, chopped
1 jalapeno, thinly sliced
3 ancho chiles, seeded and hand-torn into pieces
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons ground coriander
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon sugar

Steps:

  • To prepare the black eyed peas: Place a 2-gallon stock pot over medium heat. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and add the garlic and green chile, saute until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the black eyed peas, ham hocks, bay leaves, and water. Simmer for 45 minutes until the beans are tender, stirring when you think about it. Wait until halfway through cooking to begin seasoning with salt and pepper. You want the flesh of the bean to break down a little bit so it can penetrate the inside. Drain the black eyed beans and shred the ham hocks; set them aside to cool.
  • To prepare the vinaigrette: Puree the tomato, chipotle, sugar, citrus juices, and zest in a blender until smooth. Pour in 1/4 cup of olive oil and puree again until emulsified and slightly thickened.
  • To prepare the shrimp: Put the butterflied shrimp in a glass bowl and add the ancho powder, lime juice, half of the cilantro, and a drizzle of olive oil; tossing to coat. Marinate for 15 minutes while heating up the grill. Place a large grill pan on 2 burners over medium-high heat or preheat an outdoor gas or charcoal barbecue and get it very hot. Brush the grates with oil to keep the shrimp from sticking. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and season with salt and pepper. Lay the shrimp on the hot grill and cook 4 minutes on each side until charred and firm.
  • To serve: Combine the black eyed peas, shredded ham hock meat, green onions, tomatoes, jalapeno, and the remaining cilantro in a large salad bowl. Add the grilled shrimp and vinaigrette; toss the salad well to incorporate all the ingredients and season with salt and pepper.
  • This homemade chili powder will add a smoky depth to chili and as a dry rub for steaks. Toast the ancho chile pieces over low heat in a dry skillet until fragrant, shaking the pan so they don't scorch. Put the chiles in a mini food processor and pulse to a powder. Add the remaining ingredients and buzz again to combine.

lettuce

Tips for Making Shrimp Salad with Peas

  • Use fresh, high-quality shrimp. Look for shrimp that are firm and have a slightly sweet smell. Avoid shrimp that are discolored or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Cook the shrimp properly. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery. Cook shrimp until they are just pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your salad. This will add flavor, color, and texture. Some good choices include peas, celery, onion, and cucumber.
  • Use a light dressing. A heavy dressing will overwhelm the delicate flavor of the shrimp. A simple vinaigrette or mayonnaise-based dressing is a good choice.
  • Season the salad to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of Dijon mustard for extra flavor.

Conclusion

Shrimp salad with peas is a light, refreshing, and delicious salad that is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. It is also a good source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins. With a few simple tips, you can make a shrimp salad with peas that is sure to impress your friends and family.
