 Apple Shrimp | Status Approved | | Name | Apple Shrimp | | Category | Italian, Quick meals | | Serves/Yields | 4 | | Difficulty | Easy | | Prep. Time | 10 minitues | | Cook Time | 5 minutes | | Introduction | | This dish is usually made with an italian apple variety called "Renetta" but I think golden delicious or granny smith are also perfect candidates. | | Ingredients | | 1 lb raw jumbo shrimp (frozen is fine but fresh are much better)*
2 granny smith apples or any tart green apple.
5 to 6 celery stalks
2 carrots
Juice of half a lemon
4 Tbsp home made mayonnaise (prefered but good quality commercial mayo will do)

* In Italy shrimp are always whole, so they refer to headless shrimp as shrimp tails. Here we call the tail the fins on the tip. | | Directions | | Step: 1 | Peel , core and dice apples
Peel and dice carrots
Carefully wash celery, discard leafs and dice stalks
Put apples, carrots, celery ,lemon juice and mayo in a blender and process until you get a smooth velvety cream.
| | Step: 2 | Meanwhile cook shrimp in salted water for 5 minutes.
Arrange shrimp on a serving platter. Let shrimp cool to lukewarm before pouring the apple sauce over the shrimp.
Pinot grigio is the right wine for this dish. | | Menu suggestion | | This dish is usually served as a second course.
Serve fried calamari, clams saute, spaghetti with pesto as a first course or your favorite seafood recipe. |
