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:
- Prepare ingredients: boil eggs on hard; also if you use frozen shrimps, thaw adding them to the salad:
- Start off by preparing salad ingredients. Rinse and pat lettuce dry with paper towels or so; tear lettuce leaves for salad with hands (or slice if you like it more); discard had pieces; arrange lettuce in a mixing bowl:
- Clean shrimps (tails and such); add them to the mixing bowl:
- Remove pineapple slices from the can, slice them and add to the bowl:
- Peel hard boiled eggs, slice each in quarters lengthwise and then slice each in smaller pieces (if you use quail eggs, simply slice each in half); add sliced eggs to the bowl:
- Dust salad with grated parmesan:
- Add all tomatoes slices in halves lengthwise:
- Now let’s prepare dressing. For that put 3 tablespoons of mayo to a mixing bowl:
- Add a teaspoon of ketchup:
- And a tablespoon of lemon juice:
- Season with salt to taste:
- And mix in about half cup of juice from canned pineapples (if you want to make dressing thinner use more juice, or less to make dressing thicker):
- Pour dressing over salad:
- Mix salad ingredients with salad:
- And serve:
