Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 120 grams Greek yogurt (plain)
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Curry powder
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Honey

- 2 stalks Green onions (thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt

Instructions
Bring a medium pot of water to a simmer and add a pinch of salt. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Pat dry with paper towels and chop shrimp into bite-sized pieces, if needed.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, curry powder, lime juice, and honey until smooth.
Add the cooked shrimp, celery, green onions, and cilantro to the bowl. Gently toss to coat everything evenly in the curry dressing.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Spoon a small portion of the curried shrimp salad onto each endive leaf, arranging them on a serving platter.
Garnish with a sprinkle of extra cilantro or a light dusting of curry powder for an elegant touch.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving. Enjoy!
