Curried Seafood Salad Recipes

Steps:

• For the dressing: Cut the top and bottom from an orange so it sits flat. Working from the top down, cut away the peel and pith to expose the flesh. Cut out the orange segments, leaving the membrane behind. Squeeze any juice from the membrane into a large bowl. Repeat with the remaining orange. You should have about 1/4 cup juice. Reserve the segments.
• Whisk the cream, vinegar, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper into the orange juice. While whisking, pour in the olive oil in a slow, steady stream to make a creamy, slightly thick dressing. Chill while you make the salad.
• For the salad: Sprinkle the shrimp with the Old Bay and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the shrimp in two batches until just cooked through, about 3 minutes per batch. Remove to a plate to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
• Combine the shrimp, reserved orange segments, avocado, cucumber and fennel in the bowl with the dressing and toss gently. Mound the lettuce on a platter or individual plates and top with the salad. Garnish with fennel fronds.

Steps:

• In a bowl mix all ingredients.
• Let sit in fridge for 3 or more hours before using to blend flavors.

Steps:

• To cook the seafood, combine 8 cups of water with the white wine vinegar and salt in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook for 2 minutes only. Remove with a slotted spoon. Bring the water back to a boil and cook the scallops for 4 to 5 minutes, until cooked through. Drain.
• Bring 1/2 cup of water to a boil in the same saucepan and toss in the mussels. Return to a boil, cover, and steam for 3 to 5 minutes, until they're all opened. (Discard any that remain unopened after 5 minutes.) Drain. Remove the mussels from the shells and discard the shells. Drain all the cooked seafood and place it in a large bowl.
• To make the sauce, heat the olive oil in a medium saute pan and add the thyme, garlic, and lemon zest. Cook over low heat for 1 minute. Off the heat, add the lemon juice, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Pour the hot vinaigrette over the seafood.
• Add the celery and parsley and toss well. This salad can be served immediately, but it is best when allowed to sit, refrigerated, for 1 to 2 hours. Sprinkle with salt and toss with sliced lemon.

Steps:

• In a humungous bowl (really big or a big pot), put in all dry ingredients.
• Mix up dressing in a small bowl, taste to make sure it is to your liking in seasoning (make the dressing sharper than you normally would - the rice needs it), and pour over ingredients in pot.
• With VERY clean hands, mix up the whole mess in the pot.
• Empty into a very large tupperware bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• To serve: Line a large, pretty bowl with whole, washed Romaine lettuce leaves and put the Curried Seafood Salad in the middle with the green leaves jutting all around.
• Put the hearts of the two Romaine lettuce attractively in the middle.

Steps:

• Defrost shrimp according to package directions.
• Drain thoroughly and remove tails.
• Toss shrimp, water chestnuts, celery and onions.
• Mix mayonnaise, soy sauce and curry and pour over shrimp mixture and toss to coat.
• Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
• Serve on fresh, crisp lettuce and sprinkle with almonds.

Steps:

• Toss the French dressing with the rice in a large bowl.
• Blend the mayonnaise with the onion, curry powder, salt, pepper, and mustard and add to the rice blend.
• Just before serving, take half the shrimp and cut them in half.
• Blend this into the mixture and then add the other shrimp whole (not cut) and gently mix to blend.

Steps:

• Cook cauliflower in lightly salted boiling water for 5 minutes or until crisp tender. Drain and allow to cool.
• In large bowl combine mayonnaise, garam masala, paprika, chilli and green onions. Toss in the cauliflower and shrimp (prawns) and stir until coated.
• Chill until ready to serve.
• Serve on a bed of torn lettuce leaves with cilantro (coriander) leaves sprinkled over the top if desired.

Steps:

• Cook the shrimp and rice (not together).
• Chop celery.
• Toast the slivered almonds on a baking sheet in your oven.
• Set aside half the slivered almonds.
• When everything has cooled, mix together and add your dash of garlic salt.
• Refrigerate until serving day (1-2 days later).
• Serve on butter lettuce.
