A lovely mixed tray of shrimp, veggies, and dip, neatly arranged for presentation at a party, dinner, whatever. all healthy ingredients! Ingredients:
crinkly leaf lettuce |
baby carrots, cut battonette |
celery, cut battonette |
baby cucumbers, sliced long and oval |
radishes, jagged-cut to resemble flowers |
cooked jumbo shrimp |
green onions |
1 each of orange, red and yellow pepper, cut in rounds |
parsley (for garnish, optional) |
Directions:
1. Lay a base of leaf lettuce from the center of the plate out, so the frilly leaves adorn the edges of the tray.
2. Add rings of sweet peppers alternately, in a color pattern
3. Gently place green onions under sections of the rings in whatever pattern you desire.
4. I usually start with a ‘square’ shape, then in between, insert more onions to fan out.
5. Add leaf-sliced baby cucumbers to resemble ‘petals’ on the base
6. Add a ring design of the shrimp, tails all headed the same way
7. In the interim, soak the other veggies in a cold water bath, with about 1 tbsp lemon juice added to crisp and prevent yellowing
8. The radishes are cut by hand in ‘flower’ design using a small paring knife
