Cool Shrimp, Pea and Tomato Summer Salad
Ingredients
-1 pound frozen peeled and deveined shrimp
-1 cups fresh garden peas
-1 cup sliced cherry tomatoes
-2 tablespoons (ish) fresh dill, chopped
-2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
-¼ cup mayonnaise
-¼ cup Greek yogurt
-Zest of half a lemon
-Kosher salt
-Fresh cracked pepper
Method
Place frozen shrimp in a bowl of cold water and let sit until thawed. Will likely take about 10 minutes. Drain.
In a large saucepan, add enough water to cover the shrimp, the lemon that you zested, cut in half, a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Add the thawed shrimp and cook just until pink. This should take less than2 minutes. Drain, pat dry and cool in the fridge.
In the meantime, steam the fresh peas for about 2 minutes and then add them to a bowl of ice water. Drain and pat dry. The ice bath helps to maintain the bright green color after they are cooked.
In a bowl combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, dill, mint, salt, pepper, and lemon zest. Whisk until well blended. Add shrimp and tomatoes and peas. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well and chill, covered, for about an hour.
