Shrimp salad with cocktail sauce

Hello everyone, today we will make a shrimp salad

Preparation time: 35 minutes Cooking time: 7 minutes

Serves 4


Ingredients:

- 16 pink shrimps

- 1 teaspoon of black pepper

- 1 bay leaf

- 1 sprig of fresh thyme

- 1 small oak leaf salad

- 2 avocados

- 1 pink grapefruit

- 1 mango

- 1 small pineapple

- 1 stalk of celery

- Balsamic vinegar

- Olive oil

- Salt

For the cocktail sauce:

- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise

- 3 tablespoons of ketchup

- Salt and black pepper

- Juice of 1/2 lemon

- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauceIngredients:


Preparation:

  1. In a pot of boiling salted water, plunge the black pepper, thyme, bay leaf, then put the shrimps and let them cook at a low simmer for 7 minutes. At the end of cooking, drain them with a skimmer and put them in a dish. Let them cool, then shell them and remove with a small knife the black gut by splitting the top of the back. Cut the tails off the shrimp. Set the shrimp aside in a cool place.

  2. Wash the lettuce and remove the leaves, then gently spin-dry. Cut the avocados in half, stick the blade of the knife into the pit: tap the handle of your knife along your sink with a sharp blow, this will make the pit fall out safely. Do not try to remove it by hand. Peel the avocado halves by hand and cube them into 4 slices first, then into 6 on the other side. Peel the grapefruit raw and separate the segments. Also peel the mango and pineapple and dice them.

  3. In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise with the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice, and season with salt and black pepper.

  4. Place salad, grapefruit, shrimp, avocado, mango, pineapple and celery in a large dish. Season with olive oil and balsamic vinegar and season with salt and black pepper. Add the cocktail sauce throughout and enjoy!
