Best 3 Tarragon Shrimp Salad Recipes

TARRAGON SHRIMP SALAD

Steps:

• Place the shrimp in a large (8-inch-diameter × 5-inch-high) saucepan and add 8 cups of cold water, the Pernod, and 1 tablespoon salt. Turn the heat to medium high and cook the shrimp uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes, until just firm and pink. Drain in a colander.
• Place half the shrimp in a large bowl. Cut the rest of the shrimp sideways through the back with a sharp paring knife and add them to the bowl as well. Allow to cool for 15 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Add the celery, scallions, tarragon, and mayonnaise, and combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours for the flavors to meld.
• Transfer the salad to a serving bowl, sprinkle with extra tarragon and salt, and taste for seasonings. Serve cold or at room temperature.

SHRIMP & SCALLOP SALAD WITH TARRAGON ON RADICCHIO

• Remove 6 large outer leaves from radicchio, rinse well, wrap in paper towels and refrigerate. Bring a large pan of salted water to a boil, add shelled shrimp and scallops and set on high heat until shrimp turn pink. Both the shrimp and scallops will be done at that point.

In a small skillet, warm prosciutto and olive oil, stirring over low heat for 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl, stirring until cool. Stir in shrimp, scallops, vinegar and tarragon. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper, cover the bowl with plastic film and refrigerate until cold. To serve: Place a radicchio lettuce cup on 6 plates. Divide salad equally in the center of each leaf and garnish with taraagon sprigs.
