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
Sunflowers always make me smile Kitty! I love your plate, adorable teapot and pretty yellow blooms on your teacup! Your Shrimp Remoulade sounds perfect for our summer heat too :)
ReplyDeleteSunflowers are one of my favorites Kitty, they always seem so happy:@)
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
ReplyDeleteYour sunflowers are so pretty, Kitty. They always look like they are smiling. The sunflower plate and teapot topped with the posie all make for a cute setting. Lovely outdoors tea and the teacup looks lovely with everything. Thanks for sharing and joining me for tea.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Sandi
Well aren't your sunflowers simply the sweetest! I always smile when I see a sunflower for they seem so cheerful to me :)
ReplyDeleteAnd your shrimp looks delicious! I don't usually eat shrimp, but I may have to change that by trying this yummy dish.
Also, your tea cup is truly beautiful :) Love and hugs to you!
My mouth is watering! Yummy! Love the sunflowers and your fall table-scape. I am ready for fall. Happy Monday and Happy Tea Day!

ReplyDeleteSo pretty, Kitty. We had dinner out last night for our anniversary. I order crab Louie, and it was the best ever. Now I'm craving the shrimp remoulade. '-)

What a pretty late summer table. The sunflowers are full of cheerfulness. Shrimp is a favorite of mine and your recipe sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteYour 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!

Your sunflower-themed table setting made me smile, Kitty! I've never met a shrimp dish that I didn't like and your shrimp salad looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWOW! That sunflower plate really stands out, Kitty, and your tea cup certainly goes well with the setting.
ReplyDeleteI'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

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
ReplyDeleteLove your table setting and the fresh flowers! Sunflowers just seem to scream "happy" to me. I can't wait to try this salad! I love, love Louisiana cooking ~ all the fresh seafood and the spices are certainly a part of my food pyramid. :) Thanks so much for sharing!
