Shrimp Remoulade



For our tea today on the patio, I'm fixing a salad that was in the Parade magazine, a supplement to the Sunday newspaper. Sunflowers in a mason jar add a bit of late summer cheer to the table.  The sunflower plate always makes me happy!




This fruity teapot looks like the lid is topped with a sunflower and looks pretty with the dishes. 



I know the flowers aren't sunflowers on the teacup, but I like the way they blend with the other dishes.  This is another teacup that my friend Rosie gifted me with, from her Mother's collection, and it's by Royal Minster.  It's very vintage, don't you think?



This salad is a nod to Antoine's, a New Orleans' landmark restaurant.  I made half the recipe, but included the full version.  It was very delicious, cool, and refreshing, and perfect for the heat that's still hanging around Texas.  


Shrimp Remoulade

1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup Creole mustard (or whole grain mustard
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley, plus extra for garnish
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons minced green onion
2 teaspoons minced celery
1 1/2 teaspoons horseradish
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
2 dashes Tabasco sauce
1 1/2 lbs cooked, peeled and deveined shrimp
6 cups shredded iceberg lettuce (I used Romaine)
2 hard-cooked eggs, chopped

Combine first 10 ingredients in a medium bowl.  Add shrimp, tossing gently to coat.  Divde lettuce among six salad plates.  Top with shrimp.  Garnish with eggs and parsley.  

I am sharing this with these lovely parties:

Thank you for your visit!  xo

  3. The jar of sunflowers with a pretty bow along with the plate and other sunflower look alike china has created the perfect early autumn tea table. The shrimp dish looks tasty, I would consider cheating though by using prepared seafood sauce.

  18. Your patio is the perfect place for a lovely dining spot. The sunflower plate is complementary to the cup and saucer and teapot. The recipe for the salad must be great for the photo looks yummy. Hope you will have a great week and your wonderful cooking times with your grandchildren were so fun to view!

  20. WOW! That sunflower plate really stands out, Kitty, and your tea cup certainly goes well with the setting.
    I'm not much for shrimp, though I keep buying it thinking I will give it a try, and then don't.
    Maybe some day I will be brave and go for it. :)

    Much love to you ~ Debbie

  23. What a timely post as we are experiencing hot weather as well! I've heard of shrimp remoulade, but have never tried it before. Recently I've been interested in New Orleans cuisine. I'm not a big fan of spicy food but your dish looks perfect for lunch and dinner on a hot day when I don't want to turn on the oven. Love your sunflower theme! Your dish and gifted teacup really complement one another. Such a cheerful tea! Thanks for hosting and your sweet comment last week as I prepared for the first day of school. Have a great week, Nora

    The salad looks so cool & refreshing...I am bookmarking it for the future...a ladies luncheon, perhaps. I feel like I want to start entertaining again soon. Enough with this sadness stuff!
