Do you think the kitchen is a female occupation? But once a year, on March 8, you can sacrifice principles. Even if you do not distinguish dill from parsley, and the oven is worse for you than a fire-breathing dragon, try your hand at the kitchen! And it does not matter if you never cooked anything harder than fried eggs. What you have prepared yourself, she will be delighted more than the most exquisite and expensive delicacy. Together with 'Scarlett for March 8', I propose my recipe for shrimp salad. Delicate and bright in composition, it will decorate your holiday table or a romantic dinner.
Ingredients
Shrimps - 0.5 kg
Bay leaf - 2 pieces
Allspice - 4-5 pieces
Seasoning
Salt
Potatoes - 2 pieces
Carrots - 1 pc
Avocado - 1 pc
Chicken Egg - 2-3 pieces
Gelatin - 2 tsp
Water - 0.5 stack
Mayonnaise
Lemon
Greens
Boil shrimp for 3 minutes (from the moment of boiling) in salted water with the addition of bay leaf, allspice, and seasoning for fish. Two pieces left for decoration. Cool and clean the rest. Boil eggs, carrots, and potatoes. Gelatin pours cold water and leaves to swell. Next, dissolve it in a water bath. Stir well to avoid lumps. Cool to room temperature.
Combine sour cream and mayonnaise in equal quantities, and add gelatin Now you need to choose the form in which you will lay all the components of the salad in layers. I have a plastic container. We cover the form with a food film so that the ends of the film stick out. This is so that later it was convenient to take out the salad on a plate.
Now we lay the Shrimp salad with tomatoes on the bottom of the mold, and grease with mayonnaise. This will be the first layer. Try to lay the shrimp back to the side of the container. The second layer is boiled eggs. Peel, divide into whites and yolks (you cannot do this) and rub through a grater (or crumble dice). Place on top of the shrimp, salt, and grease with mayonnaise. I note that between squirrels and yolks, I did not coat them with mayonnaise. The third layer is avocado. Cut in half, cut the pulp into cubes. Sprinkle with lemon juice and smear with mayonnaise. The fourth layer is boiled carrots. Cut into cubes and smear with mayonnaise. Do not forget to salt. The fifth layer is boiled potatoes. Either on a grater or cut into small cubes, like mine.
By the way, I also cut carrots and avocados into small cubes. Do not overdo it with potatoes, it should be less than carrots. And let the salad was not heavy. Salt potatoes and grease with mayonnaise. Put the form with the salad in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to harden and soak. Next, on a large plate, turn over our shape and carefully, holding onto the edges of the film, remove it. Remove the film from the salad. I decorated the top with a slice of lemon, shrimp, and greens. The salad is ready to eat. The salad looks bright and colorful. If this salad is for a romantic dinner for two, then it is possible to add hearts with shrimp.
