Elaines Shrimp and Veggie Tray
From chefelaine 16 years agoIngredients
- Crinkly leaf lettuce shopping list
- baby carrots, cut battonette shopping list
- celery, cut battonette shopping list
- Baby cucumbers, sliced long and oval shopping list
- radishes, jagged-cut to resemble flowers shopping list
- Cooked jumbo shrimp shopping list
- green onions shopping list
- 1 each of orange, red and yellow pepper, cut in rounds shopping list
- parsley (for garnish, optional) shopping list
How to make it
- Lay a base of leaf lettuce from the center of the plate out, so the frilly leaves adorn the edges of the tray.
- Add rings of sweet peppers alternately, in a color pattern
- Gently place green onions under sections of the rings in whatever pattern you desire.
- I usually start with a ‘square’ shape, then in between, insert more onions to fan out.
- Add leaf-sliced baby cucumbers to resemble ‘petals’ on the base
- Add a ring design of the shrimp, tails all headed the same way
- In the interim, soak the other veggies in a cold water bath, with about 1 tbsp lemon juice added to crisp and prevent yellowing
- The radishes are cut by hand in ‘flower’ design using a small paring knife
