Ingredients

2 pounds of cleaned shrimp (shelled and deveined), chilled

1/2 cup scallions, chopped

1/4 chili sauce (I use Heinz brand)

1 tsp. parsley, chopped finely

1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper

1/4 cup of whipped heavy cream

1/4 cup to 1/2 cup depending on your taste

2 tomatoes, quartered

2 hard boiled eggs, sliced

lemon wedges

1 head of lettuce, shredded

Directions

In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, scallions, chilis sauce and cayenne pepper. Add parsley and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Add the whipped cream and fold in gently.

Arrange a bed of lettuce on four separate salad plates.

Place the shrimp over the lettuce and spoon on the dressing.

Garnish with the tomato, lemon wedges, and the sliced eggs.

*Thanks to Rosine's for the photo!

**For POTLUCK dinners-fill a large tray with lettuce and add three to four pounds of small shrimp or use the imitation crab. Triple the recipe for the Louie dressing and serve. (I can get 2, 9x13 pans filled with the salad using 3 pounds of seafood and tripling the dressing recipe.

I remember watching my grandfather eat this when I was a little girl and was lucky enough to go out with the adults for a "fancy dinner" - I thought he must be NUTS to eat such food...how little I knew about good tasting food back then! This is a great, classic recipe that never fails...thanks for sharing it, annieamie!
