Sauteed Shrimp Salad Recipes

SHRIMP SALAD

Steps:

• Bring 5 quarts of water, 3 tablespoons salt, and the lemon to a boil in a large saucepan. Add half the shrimp and reduce the heat to medium. Cook uncovered for only 3 minutes or until the shrimp are barely cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon to a bowl of cold water. Bring the water back to a boil and repeat with the remaining shrimp. Let cool; then peel, and devein the shrimp.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, wine or vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, and dill. Combine with the peeled shrimp. Add the red onion and celery and check the seasonings. Serve or cover and refrigerate for a few hours.

WARM SHRIMP SALAD

Steps:

• In a large saute pan melt butter over medium heat. Add the shrimp and lemon juice, cook until shrimp just turn pink. Remove from heat and drain.
• In a large bowl tear lettuce into bite-size pieces, add the tomatoes, avocado, celery, cucumber carrots and cooked shrimp, toss to combine. Top with your favorite dressing or vinaigrette.

SAUTEED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Squeeze lemon over shrimp and set aside.
• Heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in rosemary, basil, oregano, coriander, and bay leaf. Add white wine and Worcestershire sauce; cook until sauce is slightly reduced and flavors come together, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Add shrimp to the sauce and cook until pink, 5 to 7 minutes more.

SAUTEED STRAWBERRY, SAUSAGE AND SHRIMP SALAD

Steps:

• For the shrimp:
• In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, allow the grapeseed oil to heat until warmed. Then add the shrimp and onions. Stir the shrimp and onions, allowing to cook for 2 minutes. Then add the salt and pepper. Again, stir and cook until the onions are caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes. Next, add the sausage, again stir, and cook for 2 minutes. Add the wine and deglaze, allowing the wine to reduce by half the original volume. Once the wine reduces, reduce the heat to low and add the strawberries and balsamic. Finish for 2 additional minutes. Once cooked, add the butter and stir into the cooked items, stirring until smooth. Finish with the feta cheese.
• For the salad:
• Mix the lettuce, basil, olive oil and salt in a bowl.
• To serve:
• Plate the shrimp and sausage mixture and add the lettuce mixture on top.

PERFECT SAUTEED SHRIMP (REALLY!)

Steps:

• Thaw the shrimp, if frozen. Pat the shrimp dry. In a medium bowl, mix the shrimp with the salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin.
• In a large skillet, heat the butter on medium high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side until just opaque and cooked through, turning them with tongs.
• Spritz with juice of the lemon wedges and serve immediately.

SEARED SHRIMP SALAD

Steps:

• Combine the orange juice, lime juice, honey, 1/2 teaspoon of the crushed red pepper, the soy sauce, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt in a small nonreactive bowl. Whisk to blend. In a slow, steady stream, whisk in the 1/4 cup olive oil. Set the vinaigrette aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the remaining olive oil in a 12- inch saute pan over medium-high heat. In a bowl, toss the shrimp with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper. Add the shrimp to the pan, in two batches if necessary, and cook until they have curled and are just cooked through, 2 minutes on each side. Transfer the shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate and reserve.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the greens, oranges, red onion, and pinch of salt. Whisk the vinaigrette, and add 3 tablespoons to the salad. Toss lightly to combine, and then divide the salad among four serving plates. Take 3 to 4 slices of the avocado and fan them out on top of each salad. Divide the shrimp evenly among the salads. Drizzle a little more vinaigrette over the shrimp and avocado, and serve immediately.
