Ingredients
1 Lb. Med. cooked shrimp (frozen cleaned and deveined)
2 green onions sliced thin
1/4-1/3 red pepper chopped
5-6 sm. Mushrooms sliced
2 tbsp. parsley
3/4 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese
3/4 cup finely shredded mossarella cheese
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. dill weed
1/4 tsp. pepper
Directions
Thaw shrimp in refrigerator overnight. Soak in salt water to finish thawing and then rinse and drain. Remove tails and cut in half. Lay on paper towels to dry. Prepare the vegetables and mushrooms while the shrimp dries. Combine shrimp, vegetables, mushrooms and cheeses gently stirring.
Mix Olive Oil, Lemon Juice, salt, dill weed and pepper. Pour over shrimp salad and gently blend. Chill several hours to allow flavors to meld. I concocted this recipe to eat as a side dish and everyone really liked it. Can also be used as a main dish when looking for something cool in the summer.
Suggestion
Serve over a bed of fresh greens and sliced tomatoes for a main dish.
