Shrimp Salad Iceland Recipes

SCANDINAVIAN SHRIMP SALAD

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a medium saucepan; add enough water to cover by 1 inch. Add 2 tablespoons salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-high and cook until potatoes are easily pierced with the tip of a knife, 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk together pickling liquid, mustard, and sugar. Whisk in oil; season with salt and pepper. Stir in fennel fronds. Transfer potatoes to a bowl with a slotted spoon, and toss with 2 tablespoons dressing.
• Return water to a boil; add shrimp. Remove from heat and let stand, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are bright pink and opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer to an ice-water bath until cool. Drain well. Toss lettuce and sliced fennel with 2 tablespoons dressing; arrange on a platter. Top with potatoes, shrimp, cornichons, and eggs. Drizzle with remaining dressing; serve.

ISLAND SHRIMP SALAD

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together the brown sugar, allspice, garlic powder, black pepper, cayenne, and salt. Whisk in the lime juice, molasses, and 1 teaspoon olive oil. Add the shrimp and toss to coat well. Cover and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the broiler. Lightly spray the broiler pan with cooking spray.
• Let the marinade drip off the shrimp. Place the shrimp in a single layer in the broiler pan.
• Broil about 4 inches from the heat for 2 minutes. Turn over and broil for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
• Meanwhile, in a salad bowl, gently toss the salad greens, bell pepper, and pineapple.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, honey, reserved pineapple juice, and remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Drizzle over the salad greens. Toss to combine. Top with the shrimp.
