Juicy refueling in five minutes! Shrimp salad dressings

Not only are shrimp dishes incredibly tasty, they are also low in calories. Therefore, dear ladies and everyone who is struggling with extra pounds, do not look after mouth-watering dishes and do not deny yourself the pleasure of trying them. This will not greatly harm your figure, but rather, on the contrary, it will be beneficial, because seafood contains a lot of trace elements (calcium, zinc, potassium, iodine and others) that have a beneficial effect on the human body.

Today we’ll talk about cooking a salad with seafood, or rather about dressing for it. After all, the sauce plays an important and even the main role - the future taste of the dish depends on it. If you want it to be light, use refined olive oil in combination with mustard, herbs, and lemon juice. Otherwise, you can make dressing from mayonnaise or sour cream. In general, there are a lot of options - it remains to choose the right one. This is exactly what we propose to do. All recipes are very simple and quick - just five minutes, and a delicious sauce is already on your table.

Sweet mustard sauce

This sauce is perfect for making a simple shrimp salad. In the dish itself, you can add seafood fried in olive oil, cherry tomatoes, cut into two halves, green Iceberg leaves and a few boiled quail eggs. To give the dish a richer taste and aroma, we recommend using seasonings, such as Provencal herbs or oregano. Fresh basil will also work. Well, now let's move on to studying the recipe for the dressing itself.

Ingredients:

A teaspoon of prepared, not too spicy mustard
150 ml vegetable oil (olive oil is best)
four grams of granulated sugar
two garlic cloves
Cooking method:

Shrimp dishes go well with just about anything, whether it's a sauce based on mayonnaise and ketchup or olive oil and lemon juice. In fact, there are a lot of recipes, because every professional considers it his duty to create his own masterpiece, and it is in the process of work that original dishes are born. The dressing may be the simplest, with the least amount of ingredients, but the end result you see and feel after adding it to a salad can sometimes surprise you.

We suggest trying this simple sauce for the appetizing and light shrimp dish, which was mentioned just above. So, pour olive or other vegetable oil into a deep plate, enter the indicated amount of granulated sugar and mustard here. Mix all the ingredients well with a spoon and add the garlic, after peeling it from the husk and crushing it with a special press. Voila, your shrimp salad dressing is ready! Pour it over the food and start eating. Please note that it is stored in the refrigerator for no longer than three days.

Note that in this case, it is olive oil that is best suited, since it is not only healthier than regular oil, but also has a more original taste. Unrefined can be a little bitter, so read the package information carefully before giving preference to one or another product. The inscription "Virgen Extra" will indicate to you that the acidity of the oil is less than one percent, that it also differs in color from its relatives, being slightly greenish. It is believed that this product contains more useful trace elements and substances than refined.

Soy Lemon Seafood Salad Sauce

Decided to make a shrimp dish, but don't know what sauce to choose? Don't think too long - start taking action. This recipe is suitable for absolutely any seafood salad, both for the simplest and for a more original dish, consisting not only of shrimp, but also of mussels, crab meat and more. Well, are you ready to try?

Ingredients:

Two tablespoons of soy sauce
150 milliliters of gentle olive oil
garlic clove
salt - to taste
half a lemon (squeeze about two large spoons of juice out of it)
ground black pepper - a pinch
a few fresh basil leaves - optional
Cooking method:

For a sea salad with shrimp, it is recommended to select light dressings - we suggest considering the recipe for one of them. First, peel the garlic and pass it through a special press, if you do not have such a device, just chop the product as finely as possible with a knife. Now pour it into olive oil, pour soy sauce, freshly squeezed lemon juice here, and also throw pepper and a little table salt. Mix the ingredients well, if you wish, remember the basil with your hands and add it to the dish, whisking all the ingredients with a whisk. Pour the dressing into a clean container, close the lid tightly, and refrigerate for up to a week.

Frozen shrimp salad dressing

For shrimp salad, choose large seafood, such as "Royal" or "Tiger". They are more meaty and juicy, so this dish will look great on the festive table. You can make any sauce, because there are a lot of recipes for it. For fans of mayonnaise, a “pink” dressing with spicy ketchup is suitable, but for those who prefer lighter combinations, we recommend trying out the following recipe in practice.

Ingredients:

Olive oil (preferably refined) - 150 milliliters
50 milliliters lemon juice
two tablespoons (tablespoons) of not too fat sour cream (in extreme cases, replace it with cream)
salt
garlic - to taste (one or two cloves are enough)
seven grams of grainy mustard
a few sprigs of dill or fresh parsley
dried spices - optional
Cooking method:

If you have a blender, then making dressing for a delicious salad with frozen or fresh shrimp will be much easier. To do this, pour olive oil and sour cream into a special bowl, then add mustard here (we used granular, but instead you can take any, both spicy and more tender), table salt, then squeeze the juice from the lemon. Garlic is enough to peel and send to the above ingredients.

Now it's the turn of the greens: wash it well and tear it with your hands, transferring it to the rest of the products. We recommend adding a little spice - then the sauce will turn out more fragrant. Turn on the blender and beat several times until a homogeneous lush mass is formed. This dressing is suitable not only for shrimp salad, but also for seafood dishes or, for example, vegetables.

"Pink" dressing for a seafood dish

Finally, we come to the recipe, which has already been mentioned more than once. This delicate sauce is perfect for a dish with tiger prawns. Thanks to ketchup, it has a slight tomato flavor and a beautiful light pink hue. As for garlic, you can add it fresh or use the dried product in granules. If desired, add finely chopped parsley or dill, which will give the dish a truly spring mood.

Ingredients:

200 grams mild tomato ketchup
100 milliliters medium fat sour cream
the same amount of gourmet mayonnaise
six grams of garlic
For salad:

Half a kilo of tiger prawns
two bundles of "Iceberg"
30 grams of walnuts
Cooking method:

Surely adherents of a healthy diet will oppose such a sauce, because its components - mayonnaise and ketchup - are considered quite high-calorie foods. But, as you know, every opinion has the right to exist, in addition, to save your figure, you can use delicious light mayonnaise and low-fat sour cream. Combine all the ingredients in one bowl, add garlic crushed with a press to them, and whisk the products with a whisk.

It is not recommended to add salt to the food, since all the components of the dish already contain it in sufficient quantities. Now it remains to make a salad with shrimp. To do this, boil the seafood, then rinse it under the tap, put it in a colander, and when it drains, mix it with chopped strips of Iceberg leaves and walnuts fried in a dry frying pan. Before serving, pour sauce over everything and mix thoroughly.

It's no secret that manufacturers add emulsifiers, preservatives and dyes to mayonnaise in order to keep the product as long as possible. Do you want to be healthy and happy? Then learn how to cook the sauce yourself - in this case, not only salads with shrimp, but also all your other dishes will become more useful. Here is the easiest recipe: break one egg yolk and rub it with salt until creamy - for this we recommend working with a special kitchen whisk. Now gradually introduce vegetable oil (about 200 milliliters), pouring it in small portions and stirring constantly.

Please note that the next drop of the product is added only after all the ingredients are combined with each other. If the dressing turns out to be too thick in your opinion, dilute it with vinegar or boiled (but by no means hot) water. To make the mass more homogeneous, it is recommended to beat it with a blender or mixer. Homemade mayonnaise makes an excellent sauce for a shrimp dish. Enjoy your meal!

For those who are very sensitive to their health and watch their figure, we recommend replacing sour cream with natural fat-free yogurt, and instead of store-bought mayonnaise, use home-made mayonnaise, which is not only healthier, but also less high-calorie. By the way, both lemon juice and freshly squeezed lime nectar, and in some cases even fresh orange juice, are added to the shrimp sauce. As you can see, the field for culinary activities is very extensive, so if you like to cook, go for it. We wish you good luck and delicious food!

And to make it easy and comfortable for you to cook your favorite dishes, I recommend using Tramontina kitchen knives for these purposes, the blades of which are made of stainless steel, and the handles of the knives are made of polypropylene. Thus, making them simply indispensable assistants to any housewife.

Many of us love seafood, which is used to prepare all kinds of delicious salads and other dishes. However, to obtain a refined taste of a dish, not only the products used and their quantitative ratio are important, but also the sauces with which they are seasoned. Seafood salad dressings are one of the most important components, without which it is impossible to get a full-fledged dish. It is about them that we want to talk in our article.

Little tricks

The taste of the dish largely depends on what dressing is used for seafood salad. The sauce should not drown out the taste of the products, but, on the contrary, set it off. In order to learn how to prepare dressings for seafood salads, you need to know some tricks.

When preparing any sauce, it is necessary to try it in order to avoid unpleasant surprises when tasting the dish itself. After all, it is easier to replace or supplement an unsuccessful gas station than to ruin everything.

Before adding the sauce to the salad, it must be mixed until smooth. If the dressing stands a little after cooking, it quickly loses its consistency. Before use, it is better to mix the mass again.

Make it a habit to dress your salad just before serving. Otherwise, you may end up with a wet mass. If, nevertheless, you are preparing the dish in advance, then you should place it in a bowl and close it. The sauce can also be prepared and poured into an airtight jar. Mix salad with dressing right before serving. This will avoid the release of excess juice from vegetables or fruits that make up the dish.

Don't make too many dressings. Any sauce is good only fresh and can be stored in the refrigerator for no more than one or two days. Therefore, it is not worth preparing it "for the future".

Dressing Ingredients

Seafood salad dressings are something special. Here you can not do with universal mayonnaise. To obtain an exquisite taste that does not spoil the dish, you can use a variety of components.

Most of the dressings are prepared on the basis of vegetable oil. However, it is necessary to take olive. It has a more delicate taste and delicate aroma. Sometimes sesame, mustard and other oils are also used.

Vinegar is no less in demand. It gives the sauce a sharpness and is responsible for obtaining a uniform dressing structure. However, it is recommended to use wine vinegar - red or white.

Also, for the preparation of delicious dressings for seafood salads, juices from berries and fruits are used. Fresh lime or lemon is simply irreplaceable for sea cocktails. Citrus juices add spice. It's no secret that mussels, shrimp must be consumed with lemons.

Sometimes gas stations use mustard. As a rule, it is Dijon. Put it quite a bit to give spice and flavor. Do not get carried away with mustard, as it can ruin the taste of the dressing.

No less interesting is honey in sauces. It is also actively used. In addition to a slight hint of sweetness, it gives uniformity to the dressing. Honey goes well with soy sauce. Together they make a great couple.

Seafood salad dressing recipes are often based on the use of yogurt. True, it is necessary to take the product without any additives. Yogurt perfectly sets off the taste of meat, fish and seafood. Its sourness gives a completely different taste than olive oil. But together, these two components are perfectly combined. Therefore, there is room for imagination in the invention of new sauces.

Chopped greens are also used for dressings. Well, the finishing touch is always spices. But you need to add them wisely so that the salad does not turn into something terrible.

Yoghurt dressing with garlic

Ingredients:

low-fat sour cream or natural yogurt (210 g);
parsley or dill;
fresh chili pepper;
a little green onion;
garlic (4 cloves);
black pepper.

Remove the seeds from the chili pod and remove the stem. You need to add it to the sauce based on the spiciness. Therefore, it is necessary to pre-taste the pepper.

Add dressing to salad just before serving.

My love for seafood salads began with a salad of crab sticks. But this is not the only delicious salad.

What are the most popular foods to combine in different seafood salads

Any salad can be made independently. The main thing is to know the basic correct combination of products. Of course, you can experiment, looking for unusual flavor combinations, but you should start with something simpler.

Let's start with the fact that seafood, like cheeses, eggs, meat and fish, are animal proteins. Therefore, various vegetables are combined with them, except for starchy ones. Although there are exceptions, because many people like such a simple salad with crab sticks and canned corn.

This salad is one of my favorites as a child, now it rarely appears on the table.

To prepare it you will need:

crab sticks (packaging);
canned corn (1 can);
boiled rice (50 grams or about two tablespoons);
boiled eggs (2 pcs.);
mayonnaise (for dressing);
greens;
fresh cucumbers for those who love them.

Cut crab sticks, like hard-boiled eggs. We add boiled chilled rice, corn, greens to them. Season with pepper and salt to taste and add mayonnaise. I love substitute rice for chinese cabbage. Then the salad is easier for the stomach.

In addition to vegetables, olives, dairy products, and fruits can be added to seafood salads.

My mom's favorite salad "Arrows of Cupid" made from seafood with the addition of pineapple and pomegranate. To prepare it you will need:

shrimp (300 grams);
crab sticks (packaging);
chinese cabbage (about half a small head);
canned pineapples (can);
ripe pomegranate;
mayonnaise.

Finely chop cabbage, pineapple and crab sticks. Add shrimp and peeled pomegranate seeds to them. Add salt and season with mayonnaise.

Often all kinds of salads are prepared from seafood such as a sea cocktail. These salads are very tender and light. A semi-finished sea cocktail can be found on the shelves of any store.

What sauce for seafood salad to cook quickly from a minimum of products

Seafood salads can be seasoned with mayonnaise, olive or sunflower oil, soy sauce, mustard dressings, lemon juice.

But the most delicious dressings are dressings that you cook yourself and add products for yourself.

For seafood and vegetable salads, I use dressing from vegetable oil(olive, sunflower, linseed or other), lemon juice, sugar and spices. I take the juice of one lemon, add 50 grams of oil to it, a little salt, a teaspoon of sugar (it can be replaced with powdered sugar, because it will dissolve faster), black pepper and herbs. I mix all the ingredients and dress the salad. To achieve a more interesting and rich taste, add a little lemon zest to the dressing.

delicious creamy dressing in summer and autumn, you can cook from natural yogurt with green onions. I sometimes replace it with sour cream. Take 200 grams of yogurt, a few green onions, parsley or dill, a few cloves of garlic (if you do not plan to end the meal with hot kisses), fresh chili pepper (to taste), black pepper and salt. Mix everything and dress the salad.

The most popular quick hand salads

Plenty of seafood salads. And these are not only the already mentioned salads with crab sticks, shrimps and pineapples or a sea cocktail.

A salad of tomatoes, cucumbers, Beijing cabbage, shrimp and greens is very popular. It is simple and light, and also perfect for dinner.

Do not forget about the classic restaurant Caesar with shrimp. For it you will need large shrimp, iceberg lettuce, hard cheese, tomatoes (ideally cherry tomatoes), white bread croutons. You can dress this salad with Caesar sauce or olive oil.

Variants of original seafood salads

Any, even the simplest salad can be enriched. For me, an unexpected, but tasty solution was adding pistachios in a salad of mussels, shrimp, squid, cucumber and eggs. This salad is very popular with my guests at the holidays.

A gentle and exquisite combination in salads, I think cheese with seafood. By mixing chopped boiled squid carcasses with shrimp, salted salmon, tomatoes and a small amount of cheese, you can get a rather unexpected taste. Season with mayonnaise and decorate with red caviar.

Also, an unusual taste and piquancy can be achieved by adding to the salad salted cucumbers. To prepare such a tender salad you will need:

squid (half a kilo);
green onions (7-8 feathers);
chicken eggs (6 pcs.);
cheese (100 gr);
Large shrimp (7 pcs.);
salted or pickled cucumbers (2 pcs.);
mayonnaise or olive oil for dressing.

Boil eggs and squid carcasses. Cut them as small as possible, add chopped green onions. Three cheese on a coarse grater. Cucumbers cut into small cubes. Shrimps are boiled and cleaned. We mix all the components, season with mayonnaise and decorate with shrimp.

The main thing when preparing seafood salads is to add vegetables and not be afraid to experiment to get amazing unusual tastes.
