Got some cooked shrimp in the fridge and need a quick recipe for it? Look no more! This recipe is easy to make, packs lots of flavor, and it is versatile. You can serve it as a salad, a sandwich, tacos, lettuce wraps, or with chips. Either way: it is delicious!
I came up with this recipe after finding a whole bag of precooked shrimp in my freezer. I was hungry and needing a quick snack. I gathered some ingredients from the pantry and within 10 minutes I was enjoying a wonderful meal.
This dish is Pesco Vegetarian.
What is the flavor profile?
Tangy and spicy with herbal notes. The mini peppers and Vidalia onion add a wonderful sweet profile that compliments the shrimp. The celery and green onions add a nice crunch.
What will I need to make it?
About 40 precooked large shrimps, mayonnaise, dill, green onions, a sweet onion, sweet peppers, celery, green onions, fresh parsley, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, and olive oil.
Can I substitute the Shrimp for something else?
Yes. You can use crab meat or lobster.
Is there any cooking involved?
No. There is no cooking involved.
How do I serve it?
As mentioned above, you can either serve it over mixed greens, make a sandwich with it, make tacos, do lettuce wraps, or just eat it with chips (corn chips or pita chips).
