Barbeque Shrimp Salad

I just had to put up this barbeque shrimp salad recipe for two reasons:

  1. It's a great way of presenting your barbecue grilled shrimps.
  2. My younger daughter decided to prepare this one night when were on holiday and she made me promise that I'd add it to the website

The basic point though is that a salad is really easy to make and such a great way to present shrimps either as an appetizer or as a healthy main course.

See how the shrimps turn pink. When they're pink, they're done

In the photo above I've used tiger prawns, removed the heads and outer shells except for the tail segment. It just adds a little extra to the presentation.

For hygiene reasons you might also want to remove the blue vein that runs down the length of the shrimp. This is the alimentary tract and so contains whatever the shrimp last ate before it was caught.

Generally it leaeving the vein in is neither here nor there (other than the fact that you know what it is) provided you know where the shrimps were caught. I only exercise this caution if the shrimps were farmed but if at all possible, if they are farmed, I don't buy them.

The shrimps are then threaded onto skewers as shown and then grilled for about five minutes ocer hot coals until they turn pink. Don’t be tempted to overcook them because they’ll just dry out and get chewy.

While the shrimps are on the barbeque rustle up whatever you want in the salad, I generally go for some mixed salad leaves and then build the barbecue shrimps on top.

TIP - A little chopped apple works really well in the salad.

The traditional sauce to have on the side is a marie rose sauce and if you're not familiar with the name it's basically a home made Thousand Island dressing. Infinitely superior because it's homemade.

If you’re looking at the picture below and thinking what’s the difference between this and a prawn cocktail well probably not much but hey, it’s still a great idea, it brings it up to date, it tastes great and Lucy was only 8 when she did this after all!

She’ll be pleased as punch to see her recipe up on the web and really happy to know that many of you have made it. Enjoy your healthy barbeque shrimp salad!

Here it is! - Lucy's Barbeque Shrimp Salad
