No Thanks!
Jenn made this recipe and it involved something that I refuse to eat. She really wanted to have it represented on this site, so she asked if she could write up the post on this one. Being as I didn't have to taste the salad, I am all for that compromise. So without further delay, here is my wife...
OK, so I am writing today's food blog, just because the recipe I found is really good, however Gordon's 3 evils are Pickles, Mustard and Mayo and this recipe has Mayo in it, so there is no way he would be eating this.
I wanted to find something fun and different to make for the 4th of July and I was watching Paula Dean one day on TV and she made this. I thought it looked real tasty so my mother and I made it one day, and it was just that! I decided to make it also for 4th of July and it was a hit and miss kind of a dish. Some people loved it and some people thought it was just OK and for those who hate Mayo; well, they didn't have any.
McCalls Plantation Shrimp Salad
2 lbs. Small Shrimp (You can use pre-cooked bag)
1 Tbsn. Old Bay Seasoning
1-cup medium grain Rice
1/2-cup Red Onion, chopped
Black Pepper
1-cup Mayonnaise
Salt to taste
- Boil the Shrimp in water. Drain and set aside to cool. Season shrimp with Old Bay.
- Boil rice according to package instructions and set aside to cool.
- After the shrimp and rice have cooled, combine and add the red onion and pepper.
- Stir in the mayonnaise and add salt to taste. Toss and Serve.
Chefs Note: It was brought to my attention on the show that when cooking with Mayo that a lot of salt usually needs to be added, so don't be shy with it.
I hope everyone had a great 4th of July, I know we did. Yet another year at Nate's house blowing up the neighborhood, it was quite a night.
