JUMBO SHRIMP SALAD WITH CREOLE CREAM CHEESE DRESSING
Ingredients:
2 dozen 21-25 count Louisiana shrimp, peel & deveined
1 container Chef John Folse's Bittersweet Plantation Dairy
Creole Cream Cheese
2 cups heavy whipping cream
3/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
3/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
3/4 cup sugar
2 (8oz. cans fruit cocktail, drained very well)
1 cup chopped pecans
2 1/2 cups seedless green grapes
2 cups shredded coconut
2 (11 ounce) cans mandarin oranges, drained
10 ounce jar maraschino cherries, drained
2 (8 ounce) cans pineapple chunks, drained
Chef: Bittersweet Plantation
It is important to drain the fruit very well so that there will
be no excess moisture in the finished dessert. In a large pot,
salt water and boil shrimp until just done, about 2-4 minutes.
Set aside to cool. In the bowl of a mixer, combine Creole
cream cheese, whipping cream, nutmeg and cinnamon. Whip on
medium high speed. When mixture starts to thicken slightly,
add sugar slowly and beat until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
When layering the whipped cream between fruit, use a generous
amount. In a glass trifle bowl, layer in order: fruit cocktail,
whipped cream, pecans, whipped cream, grapes, coconut, mandarin
oranges, whipped cream, 16 shrimp, marshmallows, cherries,
whipped cream and pineapple. Top with remaining whipped cream.
Garnish with mint and maraschino cherries and place 8 jumbo
shrimp curled over the edges of the bowl. This recipe can be
created in individual servings by layering the ingredients in
the same manner in parfait or pilsner glasses.
