Paula Deen Tropical Shrimp Salad Recipes

SOUTHERN SHRIMP SALAD

Steps:

• Dissolve shrimp boil in 4 cups of water and bring to a boil. Add shrimp and boil for 4 minutes. Drain shrimp and reserve shrimp boil water. Chop shrimp into bite size chunks and place on paper towels to cool. In the reserved shrimp boil water, add the rice, and cook until tender for 15 to 20 minutes. Drain rice in colander and allow to cool. Add onion, olives and pepper to rice, and stir in the mayonnaise. Add the cooled dry shrimp to the mixture and blend well.

MINI PHYLLO CUPS FILLED WITH SHRIMP SALAD (PAULA DEEN)

Steps:

• SAUCE: Combine the shrimp, celery, and green onion in a medium bowl. In a small bowl, stir together the lemon juice, mayonnaise, salt and pepper. Pour over the shrimp and stir gently to combine.
• MINI PHYLLO CUPS: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter with the garlic until fragrant.
• Lay 1 sheet of phyllo dough on a work surface, brush it all over with the melted butter, sprinkle with a little parmesan and chopped parsley.
• Top with another sheet and repeat 3 more times until 4 sheets have been used.
• Cover the phyllo dough with a damp kitchen or paper towel while it sits on the counter to prevent it from drying out as you work.
• Repeat the stack with the remaining sheets so you end up with 2 stacks.
• With a large chef knife, cut each stack into 12 equal pieces, 4 by 3 inches.
• Lightly spray a mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• Line each muffin cup with 1 of the phyllo pieces, gently pressing it down into the edges to form a cup. Repeat to make 24 mini phyllo caps.
• Bake in a preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until light golden brown and crisp. Remove from oven and cool completely BEFOREfilling.
