Shrimp Salad

Take equal parts steamed shrimp and steamed broccoli, chopped. and add a large handful of sliced mushrooms along with two minced garlic cloves and some salt.

Dress with 1 tablespoon mayonnaise and 1/2 cup or more of full fat yogurt. Place in a serving bowl in the shape of a pyramid or Indian mound; garnish with crème fraîche.

This was really good, y’all, and I invented it my own self.

The accompanying salad was of tomato, pear, more sliced mushrooms, and spinach; the dressing was mustard vinaigrette; the garnish was black pepper.

The wine was Malbec. There was a chicken roasted with limes and olive oil but we did not eat it.

Axé.


One thought on “Shrimp Salad

  1. This is amazing, really, one of my best inventions ever. I have been experimenting with it. Key:

    The 3 ingredients, no more; only increase garlic, I say, do not add onion or anything, let the shrimp, broccoli, and mushrooms shine.

    It is key to have that bit of mayonnaise, made perhaps with mustard seed and lemon or lime, the full fat yogurt, and the crème fraîche. Since it is still yogurt and there are so many vegetables, this doesn’t make it heavy, just a marvelous combination of refreshing and rich. Do not vary the recipe, therefore.
