Shrimp Salad (TNT)

Shrimp Salad (Gail's All-time Favorite!)

Ingredients:

1 pound large peeled and deveined cooked shrimp (I always remove as much liquid from the shrimp as possible with paper towels)
1 cup finely chopped celery (remember to remove the "strings" on top of stalk before chopping)
1 large carrot, shredded
1/2 cup chopped sweet onion (or you can use sliced green onions instead)
3 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
1/4 cup thick sliced, coarsely chopped cooked bacon (this is optional--I like bacon in this but it's not necessary--be sure to remove as much of the fat around the bacon pieces first before you break them up/chop them)
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise (you can use 1/2 cup if you don't want to use sour cream)
Dash of Penzeys Parisien Bonnes Herbes, slightly crumbled (this is optional; I really like the flavor it gives to this salad and it's salt-free!)
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

In a large bowl, gently toss the shrimp, bacon, celery, carrot, onion, eggs, mayonnaise, and herbs (if so desired). Season with salt and pepper. Chill until ready to serve.  Servings: 4

Suggestions? I might add some thinly sliced radishes next time just to see how the crunch works with the rest of the salad. And perhaps some cucumber or zucchini slices, as well.

Add sugar to dissolve. Let cool (I put mine in the freezer for about 15 minutes--worked just fine to cool it down).  Once it is cool, add the olive oil, balsamic glaze (optional), and dressing mix.  Shake well and refrigerate for about an hour before serving. Gail's Notes:  This is my version of Zia's Sweet Italian Dressing that I just made and it is absolutely WONDERFUL!!! It is based on a recipe found here .  Note that I cut the ingredients in half (from the original recipe) because I wanted to make sure it tastes as good as it looks and man, it really does taste like Zia's Sweet Italian Dressing!  I will definitely keep this recipe handy (as I use Zia's dressi...
