Cool Shrimp And Cucumber Slaw Recipes

CUCUMBER SHRIMP SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400º.
• Place the shrimp in a single layer on a baking sheet (line it with parchment paper for easier cleanup!). Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper then place in the oven and roast for 6 minutes, or until the shrimp is uniformly pink.
• Whisk the ½ c. of olive oil and lemon juice in a large bowl. Add the beans, scallions, dill, parsley, cucumber, and shallot, season with some salt and pepper, and stir to coat everything with the dressing. Add the shrimp and feta and stir gently to combine.
• Salad can be made a day or two ahead - keep covered in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve.

CUCUMBER SLAW

Steps:

• Combine cucumbers, carrots, onion, sugar, coriander, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl; add vinegar and mix well.

COOL SHRIMP AND CUCUMBER SLAW

Steps:

• Place the shrimp on a rack and steam over 1 inch of water until cooked through, about 3 minutes. Cool, peel, cut in half lengthwise and devein. Set aside.
• Combine the grapefruit and lemon juices and grated grapefruit rind in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Whisk in the olive oil. Add the jalapeno, salt and pepper. Add the cucumbers and toss. Add the shrimp, parsley, mint and basil. Toss to combine. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper.

KOREAN STEAK BOWLS

Steps:

• Cook the rice according to package instructions.
• Whisk together the Greek yogurt and gochujang until combined. If you would like to turn the sauce into more of a drizzly dressing, whisk in a few extra tablespoons of water until the mix reaches your desired consistency. (And if it tastes a bit too spicy for your liking, stir in some extra Greek yogurt.)
• Toss all ingredients together in a large bowl until combined.
• Season the steak evenly with a generous pinch of salt and a few twists of freshly-cracked black pepper. Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over high heat until it is shimmering. (You want the pan to be very hot!) Quickly add the steak bites to the pan in an even layer. (If your pan is too small for the steak bites to fit in a single layer, I recommend cooking it in two batches.) Cook the steak for 2 minutes without stirring. Then flip and cook for 2-ish more minutes, or until the steak is seared on both sides and cooked to your desired level of doneness. Transfer steak to a clean bowl and toss with the soy sauce.
• In your serving bowls, layer a portion of rice, slaw, and steak bites. Then drizzle generously with the spicy sauce, plus an optional extra sprinkle of chopped cilantro for garnish. Enjoy!

WATERCRESS SLAW WITH TOASTED COCONUT

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, olive oil, lime juice, chili oil, salt and pepper. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine the watercress, onion and pepper. Pour the mayonnaise mixture over the vegetables, toss to coat and refrigerate for at least 1/2 hour.
• Meanwhile, heat a small, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the coconut and cook, shaking the pan, until the coconut is lightly browned, about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside to cool.
• When ready to serve, toss the salad with the basil and mint. Transfer to a bowl, garnish with the toasted coconut and serve.
