Shrimp Spread In Lemon Caper Mayonnaise Recipe


Shrimp Spread In Lemon Caper Mayonnaise Recipe
Whenever I make this, the platter comes back empty. The flavors blend beautifully. I really don't suggest using canned shrimp, though, if you want the best shrimp flavor...fresh shrimp from the deli is much better.

Ingredients
  • 2 heaping tablespoons capers
  • 3 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1½ cups mayonnaise (do not use Miracle Whip for this)
  • ½ teaspoon tarragon (I use just a couple pinches)
  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 1½ pounds cooked shrimp, chopped (I use medium shrimp from seafood deli)
  • 5 English muffins, toasted and each muffin half cut into 6 wedges

Directions
  1. Run the garlic cloves and the capers through a garlic press (or a mini blender or food processor); stir into the mayonnaise.
  2. Add the tarragon, lemon zest and juice.
  3. Gently stir in the chopped shrimp.
  4. Chill for at least 3 hours.
  5. When ready to serve, spread the shrimp mixture on toasted English muffin wedges and arrange on a serving platter. I do not recommend you do this in advance because the muffins will tend to get soggy from the moisture in the spread.

Sounds great, and I definately agree with the fresh shrimp part. Fresh ingredients are the way to go for the best flavor in anything in my opinion. A simple but very good sounding recipe.


Oh, you've gone and done it again! I'm so making this and just skipping the english muffin part and digging in with a spoon. I have some shrimp just begging to be cooked and this will be my Saturday lunch since I have to work anyway, might as well be nice to myself. Thanks for the yummy post. You're the best! Toodles, Notcho
