Here is yet another fresh salad. During the spring and summer - we have salads of every kind almost every day. The Sugar Snap Peas will not be around much longer so we have been eating them in every salad we make.
Every once in a while I have a huge craving for shellfish. As my DH will not eat shellfish, I usually purchase small amounts for myself. This salad hit the spot, and with fresh Sugar Snap Peas from my local market it gave a nice sweetness to the salad and some great crunch. A quick, easy, yummy lunch, and there was enough left over for lunch the next day!
1 cup of fresh baby shrimp, rinsed well
1/2 a celery stalk finely diced
1 green onion, diced
7-8 Sugar Snap Peas, chopped small
3 rounded Tblsp. Mayonnaise
juice of a lemon wedge
1/2 tsp. Curry Powder
salt to taste
1 Tblsp. finely minced fresh Cilantro
lettuce leaves
cherry tomatoes
Add the shrimp, celery, green onion, sugar snap peas, mayonnaise, lemon juice, curry powder, cilantro and salt to a bowl and mix until incorporated.
Lay down some fresh salad greens onto a plate, (these lovely greens came from our garden) and serve a generous helping of the Curried Shrimp on top. Garnish with fresh Cilantro and sliced cherry tomatoes on the side.
A refresing salad this surely is, Ina! 🙂 Food that makes me smile!! 😉

Oh, I'm weak for shrimp salad, Ina! The addition of sugar snap peas make this one especially terrific. 🙂

Thanks Shirley...I love shrimp and sugar snap peas too - so yummy!
Yum! Rick is away for a while at the end of this week - I'll make this for myself - without the peas tho (sadly) as it's too cold for them here at the moment 🙂
Janet - try frozen peas thawed - they taste fabulous in this recipe! 🙂
What a terrific summer recipe! I love a good shrimp salad, but the rest of my family isn't as keen- maybe we should share a bowl and cook up a storm 🙂
Thanks Rebecca - I would love that! 🙂
I have made this tasty salad today & ate it at a BBQ & everyone loved it! I gave them all your blogadresse!
Thanks Sophie - you are too sweet! Glad everyone enjoyed it! 🙂
