Ingredients
1 lb. Arctic Shores Extra Large Raw Shrimp, thawed
4 oz feta cheese
4 oz cream cheese, softened
3 tbsp heavy cream
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill, mint or basil (or a combination)
5 oz baby arugula
10 oz cherry tomatoes, halved
4 radishes, thinly sliced
Directions
- Bring 1-quart salted water to a boil. Add shrimp and let the water return to a simmer; poach 1 to 2 minutes, until just cooked through. Drain, place on a rimmed baking sheet and chill 30 minutes.
- Place feta, cream cheese and heavy cream in a food processor. Blend until light and smooth, about 30 seconds. Remove to a bowl and set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, honey, Dijon, and salt. Slowly whisk in the oil. Stir in fresh herbs.
- In a large bowl, combine arugula, cooked shrimp, tomatoes, and radishes. Pour just enough dressing over the salad to moisten and toss to coat.
- Spread the whipped feta on the bottom of a large serving platter or individual plates. Top with salad. Serve remaining dressing on the side.
