Wild Coldwater Shrimp Salad

Costco has these amazing fresh Coldwater shrimp that looked so good that I just had to give them a try. There are plenty of ways to make a shrimp salad, like just tossing on a little cocktail sauce, but I like my shrimp salad with finely diced celery, onion, tomato, garlic and chopped Italian parsley and just enough mayonnaise to hold the shrimp salad together.

Ingredients:

Shrimp Salad
1 pound Wild Coldwater shrimp
1/8 cup fine dice celery
1/8 cup fine dice medium yellow onion
1 fine dice Roma tomato
1 minced garlic clove
1 tablespoon chopped Italian parsley
2 tablespoons lite mayonnaise

Salad
Mixed greens for 2
4 tablespoon's Brianna's Vinaigrette salad dressing
2 Roma tomato's
1/2 medium cucumber
1 ripe avocado

Preparation:

Place the shrimp in a large mixing bowl and add the celery, onion, tomato, garlic, parsley and mayonnaise. Mix the shrimp salad gently, cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for an hour.

Use a vegetable peeler and remove the skin from the cucumber and cut 10 thin slices. Take the Roma tomato's and cut into 4 or 5 slices each. Take the avocado and cut in half, discard the pit and slice each half into 6 pieces.

Place the mixed salad greens in a large salad bowl and toss with the Brianna's salad dressing.

To serve, place a large portion of salad greens on a serving plate. Use a small bowl as a mold for the shrimp salad and place the shrimp salad on top of the mixed greens. Place the cucumber, tomato and avocado slices around the shrimp salad. Garnish the plate with chopped Italian parsley and a grind of salt and pepper.
