Shrimp Salat on Toast Points

 

Recipe Summary & Steps

I was so excited when I saw the theme for this month's Fish Friday Foodies.  I was going to bust out my Danish side, and make Shrimp Salat i Tartelleter.  So much for planning ahead.  I decided at the last minute, to not make any tartelleter shells, cause I was trying to cut back on my carbs.  So what did I do? I grabbed some home made bread out of the freezer and made toast points instead.   And life was delicious. I love being able to go out to my very small garden and picking fresh dill and chives.    I also have to mention, the lemon was also from my garden.  I even caught the shrimp.  Granted I had to grab a bag from the freezer of wild caught shrimp from the Gulf of Mexico, and then toss it in the air so I could say, with an almost straight face, I even caught the shrimp.  WINK!!!  Here's a few pictures of the process.  Poaching the shrimp.  Those little green flecks are from the dill and chives that were chopped by the same knife that cut the lemon.  after poaching and mixingadding the asparagus Served with Toast Points     PrintWith ImageWithout ImageShrimp SaladYield: 4 for lunch, 12 for appetizersAuthor: Sid's Sea Palm Cooking -Prep time: 5 MinCook time: 3 MinTotal time: 8 MinThis is a perfect light lunch or appetizer for the hot summer months.Ingredients8 oz. cooked salad size shrimp -  60 ct.1/4 cup Créme Fräiche. - I used my own homemade here. 1/4 cup jarred Asparagus, drained and cut into thirds.1 teaspoon lemon juice + 1/4 lemon for poaching shrimp1/2 tsp. finely minced fresh dill1/2 tsp. finely minced fresh chivesdash of curry powder -hot or mildDill for decorationToast Points - thinly sliced bread, toasted and cut into trianglesInstructionsIf poaching shrimp, add 1/4 lemon cut into pieces and add to poaching water.   Poach the shrimp until just cooked, remove from water and cool down in an ice bath.If using larger shrimp, just chop them up a little.Mix the creme fraiche with the lemon juice, dill, chives and curry powder.  Fold the shrimp into the creme fraiche mixture.  Then add the asparagus, folding it into the shrimp mixture, very carefully as the asparagus is very fragile.Serve on and with buttered toast points. Note: You can use fresh asparagus in this recipe and to make it a little more 'Danish' use white asparagus. This is also perfect for the small Icelandic or Greenland shrimp.  They actually add a lot more flavor.
