This uses cooked frozen shrimp. Not sure where I got this recipe. Ingredients:
3/4 lb frozen cooked shrimp, defrosted |
1/2 lemon, juice of |
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granule |
black pepper, freshly ground |
cayenne pepper |
8 small lettuce leaves |
fresh parsley, chopped, to garnish (optional) |
1/2 cup ketchup |
1/2 cup heavy cream or 1/2 cup half-and-half |
2 tablespoons onions, finely chopped |
1/4 cup lemon juice |
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce |
1 dash tabasco sauce |
1/2 cup blue cheese, crumbled |
Directions:
1. Place defrosted shrimp in a flat Pyrex-style dish.
2. Heat the juice from a half lemon in a small pan and add the bouillon and dissolve.
3. Pour the lemon bouillon over the shrimp and sprinkle the black pepper and cayenne pepper over the shrimp, to taste; toss well and chill about 30 minutes.
4. Make the dressing by combing all the dressing ingredients in a bowl; mix well and chill as well, about 30 minutes.
5. Arrange the lettuce leaves in 4 old-fashioned champagne style cups or sherbet glasses so that they line the sides of the glass.
6. Drain the shrimp and mix gently with the dressing.
7. Place the coated shrimp in the lettuce lined cups and serve garnished with chopped parsley if you like.
