Today, I want to share with you an unusual shrimp salad recipe. It is not unusual that we will make shrimp breaded with nuts, and the sauce in the salad will also be nutty. By the way, you can find the recipe for Gamadari nut sauce here.
In order to make a nut breading, any nuts will work. I, for this recipe, took cashews, hazelnuts and peanuts in equal proportions.
Ingredients for 2 servings
- Tiger shrimps 8 pcs. (size 26/30)
- Nuts 75 gr.
- Arugula 40 gr.
- Lettuce leaves 60 gr.
- Cherry tomatoes 8 pcs.
- Nut sauce 40 ml.
- Chicken egg 1 pc.
- Vegetable oil 15 ml.
Salad with shrimp in nut breading preparation
Turn on the oven at 180°C. First of all, we will prepare the nut breading for the shrimp. To do this, put the nuts in a blender bowl and chop them.
Defrost the shrimp, remove the shell (you can leave the tail), make an incision on the back and remove the intestine. Rinse the peeled shrimp well in cold water. Beat the egg a little with a fork, lower the shrimp into it. The shrimp should be completely covered with the egg. Then dip each shrimp in the nut breading, pressing down firmly on the shrimp so that the breading adheres tightly.
Pour oil into a frying pan and place over medium heat. When the oil is hot, put the shrimp in it and fry them on both sides until golden brown.
Transfer the fried shrimp to a baking sheet, and put them in an oven preheated to 180 ° C for 5 minutes. Tear lettuce and arugula into a bowl (do not forget to wash first). Pour in the hamadari nut sauce. Mix thoroughly. Put dressed salad on plates, arrange ready-made shrimp around the edges, garnish with cherry tomatoes and serve. Bon Appetit!
