CREAMY SHRIMP AND DILL SALAD



Creamy Shrimp and Dill Salad image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup finely chopped fresh dill
2 garlic cloves, smashed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound (26- to 30-count) shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup chopped fresh dill, plus more for garnish
1 garlic clove, grated on a rasp or finely minced
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup whole-milk Greek yogurt
1 cup diced seedless cucumber (about 1 large cucumber)
3/4 cup finely chopped red onion
Grated zest of 1 lemon
2 teaspoons sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 head iceberg lettuce, cut lengthwise into 4 wedges

Steps:

  • To cook the shrimp: Fill a large bowl with water and add plenty of ice. Set aside. Fill a large pot halfway with water. Add the 1/4 cup dill, the garlic, a nice pinch of salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Bring to a boil and simmer until the pot is fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the shrimp and remove the pot from the heat. Stir, allowing the shrimp to cook until pink and opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain the pot in a colander and pour the shrimp into the ice bath to cool.
  • To make the salad: In a large bowl, combine the dill, grated garlic, mayonnaise, sour cream, yogurt, cucumber, onion, lemon zest, and sugar. Taste, and then season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Remove the shrimp from the ice bath, dry gently with a paper towel, and coarsely chop. Stir them into the dressing until combined.
  • Tear the first few layers from the center of each iceberg wedge (creating a "bowl" in the wedge) and put them on individual salad plates. Divide the shrimp salad among each plate, filling the lettuce "bowl" and letting the salad spill over onto the wedge. Garnish with chopped dill. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 ounces small pre-boiled Swedish shrimp, or rock shrimp, available at IKEA or online
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 lemon, divided
Kosher salt
Small bunch dill, divided
1/4 Pullman loaf, or 3 thick slices of any high-quality white bread
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more as needed
6 leaves green lettuce

Steps:

  • Shrimp: In a bowl, add shrimp, mayonnaise, juice from half a lemon, and salt to taste. Pull the dill fronds from the stems and roughly chop to get 2 tablespoons, loosely packed (reserve the rest for garnish). Add to the shrimp mixture and stir to combine. Set aside.
  • Toast: Slice the bread into ¾-inch slices. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon butter. When melted, add enough bread slices to fill the pan (about 3). Reduce heat to low and cook 30 seconds. Divide and spread 1 tablespoon butter evenly over the top sides; then flip and cook bread another 30 seconds, adding more butter to the pan as needed. When toast is golden on both sides, transfer to several layers of paper towels to cool, 30 seconds. Cut crust off of toast and slice each piece horizontally into 2 triangles.
  • Assembly: Place toast on a platter. Arrange a lettuce leaf on top of each triangle, making sure the leaf is about the same size as the toast, then add the shrimp. From reserved lemon half, cut three thin slices (wheels), and cut each wheel in half. Make a cut in the middle up to the peel, then twist and place over the shrimp. Garnish with small dill sprigs before serving.

An entree that transports you to Stockholm; shrimp with hard-boiled eggs, cornichons, fennel, soft buttery lettuce, and boiled baby potatoes. Bonus: Use the same pan to cook the shrimp and the potatoes.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes     Shrimp Recipes

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 ounces baby potatoes, halved (quartered, if large)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup cornichons, sliced lengthwise, plus 2 tablespoons pickling liquid
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Pinch of sugar
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 small fennel bulb, thinly sliced, plus 1/4 cup chopped fronds
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 head butter lettuce (8 ounces), leaves separated
4 hard-cooked eggs, halved

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a medium saucepan; add enough water to cover by 1 inch. Add 2 tablespoons salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-high and cook until potatoes are easily pierced with the tip of a knife, 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk together pickling liquid, mustard, and sugar. Whisk in oil; season with salt and pepper. Stir in fennel fronds. Transfer potatoes to a bowl with a slotted spoon, and toss with 2 tablespoons dressing.
  • Return water to a boil; add shrimp. Remove from heat and let stand, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are bright pink and opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer to an ice-water bath until cool. Drain well. Toss lettuce and sliced fennel with 2 tablespoons dressing; arrange on a platter. Top with potatoes, shrimp, cornichons, and eggs. Drizzle with remaining dressing; serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Do not overcook the shrimp, as this will make them tough.
  • Chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Serve the salad on a bed of lettuce or arugula for a refreshing presentation.
  • Garnish the salad with fresh dill or parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
