Shrimp, Lettuce and Egg Salad Recipe
January 4th, 2014 in Salads by Julia Volhina
Total cooking time: 30min

This unusual combination of ingredients yields pretty interesting salad. And it tastes best then prepared right before serving.
Original recipe calls for 10 quail eggs, but I find them somehow hard to find here, so I used 2 chicken eggs as replacement.
Pineapples themselves are optional ingredient, you can skip on them if you wish so, but with them salad tastes more interesting.
Ingredients:
- 8oz of cooked shrimps
- 4-5 leaves of lettuce
- 20-25 grape or cherry tomatoes
- 2 chicken or 10 quail eggs
- 4 slices of canned pineapples (optional, to taste)
- 2-3 tablespoons of grated parmesan
- 3 tablespoons of mayo
- 1 teaspoon of ketchup
- 1/2 cup of canned pineapple juice
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- Salt to taste
How to prepare, step-by-step:
-
