Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 200 grams lump crab meat
- 150 grams mixed salad greens
- 150 grams cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 100 grams cucumber (sliced)
- 1 medium red bell pepper (diced)
- 0.5 medium red onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large lemon (juiced)
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Fill a medium pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Add the shrimp to the boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool. Once cooled, pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, and red onion.
Add the cooked shrimp and lump crab meat to the salad bowl, gently tossing them with the vegetables.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, dijon mustard, honey, parsley, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 1 hour before serving.
