INGREDIENTS

  • 2 small (3" long) Scallions or Spring Onions
  • 2 stalk large (11"-12" long) Celery
  • 2 tbsp Basil
  • 1 tsp Dijon Mustard
  • 0 1/2 tsp Lemon Zest

DIRECTIONS

Don't be discouraged by the prep time listed for this main-dish salad. Most of it represents marinating time.
 
  1. Fill a 3-quart saucepan with water and bring to a rolling boil. Add shrimp and stir. Immediately remove from heat, cover and let stand until shrimp are opaque, turn pink and curl up, about 7 minutes.
  2. Drain shrimp in a colander and place them in a bowl of ice water for 3 minutes to stop the cooking process. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
  3. Using a sharp knife, halve each shrimp lengthwise and place in a large bowl. Dice the celery and scallions tossing them in with the shrimp and julienned basil.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk mustard, lemon zest, salt, pepper and lemon juice together until well blended. Slowly pour in oil in a thin stream, whisking constantly, until blended.
  5. Pour dressing over the shrimp mixture and toss well to combine. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 7 hours to blend flavors, stirring occasionally. Serve at room temperature over the arugula and quartered tomatoes seasoned with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
