New Year's shrimp salad

25 min4 serv.20 февр. 2026 г.

Description

Perfect for everyday meals. The harmony of flavors, the slight crunch of arugula, and cubes of cheese will add a creamy note and lightness. The dressing made of oil, soy sauce, and whole-grain mustard will give the salad a glossy finish, extra texture, and juiciness. Adding garlic will make the salad's taste more piquant. However, you can adjust the salad to your own taste: replace the mustard with soy sauce, arugula with leaf lettuce or iceberg, cherry tomatoes with regular tomatoes, and balsamic vinegar with lemon juice. Garnish as desired and serve.

    Rinse the shrimp under warm water and let the water drain off. Pour water into a saucepan, add salt, and bring to a boil. Add the shrimp to the saucepan, bring back to a boil, and cook for 2–3 minutes. Drain the shrimp in a colander and immediately rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process and keep the shrimp tender. If using tiger shrimp, cook for 5–7 minutes; for king shrimp, cook for 7–10 minutes. After cooking, peel off the shells, leaving only the meat.
