So I've been slacking off on the photography these days, but decided to take a photo of today's lunch before I ate it. Had Chef make a shrimp salad for a work get-together yesterday, and it turned out really well. Very simple, went exceptionally well with the croutons.
For the veggies we used romaine lettuce, snow peas, red onions, and cherry tomatoes. You have to poach the snow peas in boiling hot water for like 15 seconds, but that's about all the cooking that the veggies got. We poached the shrimp in water as well, flavoured with a little curry powder, the ends of the red onion and a couple cloves of garlic. And he made a yummy dressing with strawberries, low-fat mayo, shadon beni, thyme, sugar and olive oil. The croutons are easy; a French baguette sliced, toasted and drizzled with olive oil, salt and black pepper.
I think it's a nice Christmassy type dish, very fresh and flavourful, just enough crunch and punch with the dressing. Try it yourself and see.
