Shrimp Salad with Truffle Vinaigrette !

Shrimp Salad with Truffle Vinaigrette !

YUMMMMMMMM!!!!!

Ingredients:


  • Shrimp - the bigger the better! 
  • Mixed greens
  • Truffle Oil
  • White Wine Vinegar 
  • Shallots
  • Dijon Mustard (for coagulation)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Truffle Vinaigrette: 

  • You can substitue Rice wine vinegar and a Riesling vinegar instead of the basic white wine vinegar if you would like to get fancy! You can also substitute grape seed oil for olive oil. I just use whatever is in my kitchen! It is a fun game to play
  • Chop of up shallots/green onions and place in the container where you will mix the dressing
  • 1/2 rice wine and 1/2 riesling vinegar or the full amount of white wine vinegar. Be careful with pouring too much, the vinegar is the strongest flavor - you can always add more later :)
  • Pour in a couple tablespoons of truffle oil and some olive oil
  • Mix in a small amount of dijon mustard
Shrimp
  • I like to buy fresh large prawns and boil of bbq them! that it!
Put everything together: greens, shrimp, and the truffle vinaigrette !
I also added Pesto! (http://mycookingisamazing.blogspot.com/2013/05/pesto.html?spref=fb)
You can also add shaved onions, avocado, shaved almonds... I think any shaved root veggie will be just dandy! (ex: carrots, radish, bamboo etc)
