Time 25m

Yield about 16 shrimp cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound medium shrimp, peeled, deveined and cut into bite-sized pieces
1 teaspoon chopped or ground dried lavender
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1 teaspoon lemon zest plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 oranges, such as navel or Cara Cara, segmented, plus 1 teaspoon orange zest
1 Persian cucumber, peeled and diced
2 heads endive, white, red or a combination, leaves separated

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, add the shrimp, lavender and 1/2 teaspoon salt and toss well to combine. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and the seasoned shrimp and cook, undisturbed, about 2 minutes. Flip the shrimp and cook on the other side until the shrimp is opaque and cooked through, about another 2 minutes.
  • In a separate medium bowl, add the mint, lemon zest and juice, oranges and zest, cucumbers and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Toss well to combine. Add the hot shrimp to the bowl and toss again.
  • Lay the endive leaves out on a platter. Spoon the shrimp mixture into the leaves, placing approximately 2 shrimp in each cup. Spoon any juices over the top and serve.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my shrimp cups turned out a little too salty. I think I'll try using less salt next time.

These shrimp cups are a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I also like to add some chopped vegetables to the filling for a more substantial meal.

The lemon and lavender flavors in this recipe are subtle but delicious. I would recommend using fresh lavender if you can find it.
